Well would you look at that ... 90+ tabs open in a Javascript-disabled browser, 5 more tabs open in a different browser with Javascript enabled, Audacity, GIMP, and Quicktime all open (along with several Terminal windows, of course (but you guessed that because it's me)). CPU load at 100%, machine running hot, UI sluggish ...

Click the "print" button on one New York Times page to switch from the normal view to a see-all-the-text-better view, and the CPU load immediately drops to 25%.

Huh. Guess I'd better open NYT links in the no-Javascript browser from now on, huh? (And give up on IO9 completely, since that won't even load without Javascript, and I already knew opening a single IO9 page required my computer's full attention.)

Since I had GIMP running, here are a couple of recent pics to make up for making you read more JS-bloat griping:

(I won't be at Balticon tonight. I will be there Monday. I will probably also be there at least one of the other two days.)

Not that you asked, but I believe the "net carbs" mystery is to blame for the situation in the left hand picture. It probably has 0.4g of indigestible fiber, such that it gets rounded down to 0g but turns the 11.6g of sugars into 11.2g net.

I don't have JS disabled, but I do have Flashblock and AdBlockPlus running; what, do you suppose, is interfering with the embedded video on, say, these Wired pages?

Wow. At least the NYT computers must be working hard to share all that ... stuff.

Also -- love that no-carb sugar! Look out, Splenda, the competition c'est arrive.
