Could those of you who see this problem please try the following:

a) Install the load applet so you have an idea what your CPU is doing.

b) Change your browser settings so that cache is off and the browser window does not start in full screen mode (you need to see the load applet, that's why)

c) Put a shortcut to the Google bookmark (or any other page that loads really fast and has no content below the visible area) on your desktop.

d) Power off your N900. Switch it on again. Wait until all startup tasks have settled down and CPU is more or less idle.

e) Tap on the Google bookmark. Wait until the page is loaded completely (blue bar gone) and watch the CPU applet.

f) Close the browser window.

g) Tap on the Google bookmark again. Wait until the page is loaded completely (blue bar gone) and watch the CPU applet.


My results are:

During the first load (step e), everything seems to be fine. It takes a while for the browser to load of course, but after the page has finished loading, the CPU indicator goes down again quickly.

In step g (second time I start the browser), the problem occurs for the first time: The browser starts faster, but after the page is loaded completely, the CPU-load remains high (red dot visible in the load applet) for ~15 seconds. 15 seconds after the page is fully loaded, no missing images etc, ....

After that, I see these 15 seconds of high CPU usage every time I open a website. - This is not only annoying performance-wise, I think it also helps draining my battery, doesn't it?
