Thursday, 1 pm, CST. CPU consumption and response time back to normal. I changed nothing on my computer before or after all this started. What have you guys done? Fess up!

Yep, it's about an 8-year-old computer with not much memory or hard drive space per today's standards. But it limps along pretty well most of the time, just like me.
I think you have just identified your problem. Trying to use website(s) built to the 2010-ish technology while replying on something that was mediocre at best in 2002 :)

time to upgrade.
Switching to a Linux like Puppy Linux might also be an option.

Had the same thing happen to me (3Ghz Quad core, 4Gb RAM), so I don't think that's the problem.

The fact that it was something that came and went in just a couple of days indicates it's not a problem inherent in the architecture - because that would make it a full-time problem. The transient nature seems to indicate that there is some outside influence at play.

Roger that. I am using a Win7 with 4GB ram and 2.4GHz CPU, no problems.
I am also using Firefox with Adblocker - are both of you guys ? If not, it could be the ads sucking up the CPU cycles.

That's possible, though in my case .mil is pretty good about ad-blocking.
