Got a trial Financial Times subscription, and I was reading an article when I noticed my browser was crawling, using like 160% CPU. Ran out the (awesome) Firefox profiler, turns out the page is doing hundreds of HTTP requests per second to update this little chart... yikes!
Firefox profiler UI. Once I load the article, the CPU usage pegs at 100% and I see tons of network activity.Chart of Nvidia, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 values, apparently needs to be updated hundreds of times a second
