[Conkeror] High CPU

[Ron Mitchell]

Brian,

Thanks for your response, which I only just picked up (been a bit busy).

According to "about:plugins" I do have a flash plugin installed, among
other plugins.  I don't know how to un-install or disable them to test
the theory though.

However I get high CPU without any flash activity happening on screen. 
For example, if I simply fire up Conkeror and let it sit on the initial
help screen ("Conkeror User Manual"), CPU usage hovers around 60%.

I'm browsing through a proxy server; could that be relevant?

Ron

Are you sure it is Conkeror, and not say, the flash plugin?

Conkeror itself should not be using so much CPU.
