Alvin777 Thank you for your contribution. Is it possible to get a link to the extension please? We need it to add into the KB article. Thanks again
Edit
Never mind I found it. You had slightly misnamed the extension

ImagesLikeOpera causes excessive CPU usage

by Alvin777 » September 12th, 2007, 3:06 am

I'd like to contribute to 'Problematic extensions' page.

Extension:
ImagesLikeOpera (ILO)

Versions affected:
Checked on 0.6.15

Problem:
"Refresh images in tab on tab select" option causes excessive CPU usage on tab change and erratic textbox behavior (i.e. losing caret after selection in google search text box).

Workaround:
Turn off "Refresh images in tab on tab select" option.

---

Behavior is easily confirmed on my computer. Significant tab change delay (with corresponding 100% CPU usage shown by Process Explorer) is seen when switching to tab with google reader.
