Site definitally makes the CPU usage go up, but the average was about 14% cpu
usage.  My guess is that the flash on the page is making this happen, but at no
point did the cpu go to 100% and the scrollwheel always worked.

Tested in IE as well and the CPU usage runs on average at 22% just with that
site open.

simiarl results for me using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;
rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041026 Firefox/1.0RC1

the profile for cpu usage was similar to IE with firefox being slightly higher
in the first few seconds of getting the page loaded, but stablizes to use about
the same cpu and memory...

if a test case and isolated problem can be created and we get close to a low
risk solution renominate.   this seems like a good one or investigation on the trunk

Sorry, the scrollwheel "works" but with a couple seconds of lag probably due to
the fact that I'm running Firefox on a 448 mhz PII which probably also explains
why I get 100 % CPU usage. Changing summary.

Anyway it's in the league of lighter web pages in the today's standard I think.
