I am not sure what to do about it but when it happens, everything slows down
I went to a Youtube video having to do with one of my hobbies, vermicasting, growing worms for fun.
I think it was posted semi-seriously of a buxom lass who also happens to raise worms.
Anyhow, if I click on the video, everything slows down. Cursor movement, opening apps, closing apps, you name it.
I ran System Monitor to see what was happening and I really don’t know what would be an out of line CPU %.
I saw a few odd things under CPU %, like disk_sleep for Plasma-Desktop and that did not seem a good thing.
So my question is, What can I do to limit/restrict these types of things happening if I happen to visit a site that is getting mega hits and/or taking forever to respond ?
It seems to me that there might be something in network settings to help, but as usual, it’s unknown to me.
I middle-clicked on your link (to open in a new tab). And everything slowed down.
I don’t know what is happening there. However, your link is not to youtube. Perhaps it is to a frame with youtube inside the frame. It’s hard to check, when it locks up my browser.
I am using “flashblock”, so flash videos don’t load unless I click the button to allow them.
I am also using “noscript”, so the button to load the flash video is blocked unless I approve that site in “noscript”. And I cannot do that, because firefox is looping so hard that I cannot access the noscript controls until I close that tab.
I’m guessing that perhaps the page is redirecting to itself at a high rate. But that’s only a guess. It probably has nothing to do with youtube
Thank you nrickert for giving it a try.
You cannot know how pleased I am that you experienced the same symptoms as I. I say that tongue-in-cheek because I don’t wish you evil, it’s just that others are able to duplicate it.
I just tried, too. Same symptoms. I managed to open Systemmonitor. It showed my memory was totally filled up by firefox including swap. My poor little lappie only got 2 GB but anyway. Sadly, the initial image was very promising…
I mean about the worms, of course.lol!
I tried with resolution set to 720p and “annotations: on”. Not sure if changing that might help in any way.
Hey, just tried another time, couldn’t resist: There is a button down right “watch on youtube”. Works like a charm even with 720hp. The issue can only be related to that other website.
I hit esc immediately after opening that page in case it helps stopping anything. However, better be fast to click and close the first tap.
I wonder if she’d come round to pimp the composter in our garden. Hm, my wife might object, though, since it works quite fine.rotfl!

It is a issue with social networking site “ning”
The actual youtube video doesn’t cause any issues http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srTrDpxm1Uk
When i clicked your link i see that the url still shows that i am still
under ning instead of showing me a youtube url.
You should probably take this up with the social networking site
administrator.
