Facebook, a resource hog...

[Orbital Shark]

Hi,

I don't play many games in facebook but I've noticed that 1 particular game (Monopoly Millionaires), although flash based, is a complete resource hog. Surely it shouldn't be as facebook is supposed to be usable on virtually any machine big or small.

Here are snips of Task Manager when that game is open but idle, with graphics set to minimal...

Internet Explorer 8


Google Chrome


On the performance side, chrome handles the game MUCH better than IE with no slowdown or stutter. But, that's besides the point, it's a flash game for god sake...
:roflmao:

I'm looking forward to the RTM of IE9.

I agree, although the Hardware Acceleration is still a bit ropey
