CPU-Intensive Snow

Hi Randall,

I used to have the same problem, but I got rid of it myself using the
Firefox extension Adblock plus

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865

if you want to reformat a page (to print for instance), you could use
aardvark firefox extension:

OK, fine, I'll switch it off :)
I'll look into reducing the cpu utilization for next year :)
