Ongoing Saga of CPU Cycles

[Jack Rodgers]

I have listed how Safari and my Bank burned cpu cycles at upto 90% 
constantly on my 17" alBook while browsing the site. It seems to have 
decided to take a brake and idle now after a few updates and I think 
the end of the banks web redesign. I caught a popup window in IE that 
was not showing up in Safari and that may have been part of the 
problem. Now that the redesign is over they aren't showing the popup 
window.

Today I bought LogoCreator which does the same thing, even after its 
update. Oddly it is a Macromedia Director application which I think is 
causing the processor overuse. It's the only application which won't 
idle. This probably means that it will exhaust the battery quicker.

GarbageBand sent me a message that I should change my processor setting 
from Automatic to highest, which I did.

I wonder if this cpu thing is my Powerbook only or if it occurs with 
other new Macs running Panther and Jaguar.
