However, if you view the page on the N800 maemo-launcher consumes 95%+ CPU/20% MEM. The browser application is rendered unresponsive but can be killed, which is generally the only option. Interestingly if Optimised View is enabled, the Flash advert that should appear in the right-hand column floats over the main page in the top left corner - CPU is still through the roof however. > > It's ironic that the advert in question is by Crucial with the tag line "Is your computer running slowly?" - I kid you not... :) try clicking the Accuweather default bookmark. There's a very healthy delay to the point where the N800 asks if you want to abort the script. Also - try looking for N800 accessories on the Europe Nokia site... takes forever!
