I just temporarily renamed the libflashplayer.so file and the spike
in cpu goes away. Rename it back, and the spike comes back.
It looks like the flash ad for cisco is doing it (no doubt a clever ploy
on cisco's part to make your computer act bogged down so their
consultants can tell you what you need are new routers :-) .
I got tired of all the spin on CNN so some time ago I started hitting
the BBC international page instead. Better coverage of the "rest of the
world" and a lot less spin for U.S. news. I went back to CNN last night
after the North Koreans tested their a-bomb to see if they had any
additional coverage. Couldn't even click through to the full article
due to the Cisco advertisement. I guess I'll stick with the Beeb.
Cheers,
Dave
