  • Hi BreezyOhio (I am a woman actually: Maggy goes digital hihi)

    Wow, I never had a clue about cpu! Never too old to learn. Thnx for explaining. So are those leaks produced by WF? Luckily I normally have 4 tabs open in Chrome and my site (3 tabs) in FF (who acts very strange lately – I fear its my 4 years old laptop; indeed over time things deteriorate).

    Sorry for the typo. It was not intentional. Yes, as I see it it’s some kind of memory leak that builds as live traffic runs over time. It’s a shame because I use live traffic to monitor my site traffic. I have a small specialty site so when I get 10 serious visitors a day that’s good to know where they are coming from (approximately) and how long they stuck around as well as what pages they visit and in what order.

    I hope they get it fixed soon. To be frank, I think the previous version had a leak too but it small enough that it never made the browser unresponsive like this one does.
