Description pano_90 2010-05-30 03:45:58 PDT 
iGoogle seems to be causing the CPU usage to shoot up to around 50%, slowing
down the system.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create an iGoogle page (http://www.google.com/ig)
2. On the left hand side of the website you can enable the chat feature (you might need to log in to Google, in order to be able to load it)

Adding chat to iGoogle causes the high CPU usage; removing it reduces CPU usage.

Tested here with Qt 4.6.2 in arora and rekonq, both show the same behaviour.

Reproduced against 4.7/trunk.
Comment 2 Alexis Menard (darktears) 2011-04-07 13:33:31 PDT 
With Qt 4.7 cdbb761416996efef99e6eccc7f42730d64f35cb and WebKit trunk (r83188) on Linux it seems ok.

Please reopen if it's still the case.
