Abraxas Market high CPU usage

I noticed that whenever I visit Abraxas Market my CPU skyrockets. at least I think it's my CPU, since my fan goes all wild. every.single.time I visit abraxas market. as soon as I close the tab, my fan goes back to normal. it's the only market and the only site that this happens. I use tails for those who are wondering

can any of you tech wizards give an explenation for that?

You have a powerful cpu, but what you are seeing is a combination of two things.

Your cpu is normally in its low power state. Abraxas probably has their gzip and image compression set to max or near max values to help the site load faster across TOR. Doing so saves bandwidth but induces a slightly heavier load on the client computer during decompression. I believe hardware acceleration is not turned on by default in the browser bundle which would also cause higher cpu usage.

Also, your CPU fan might be scaling with cpu usage without taking the clock speed into consideration. Open up the task manager for windows and go to the performance tab. Keep an eye on the cpu usage graphs when you go to the site. You'll probably see one core get heavily loaded for a split second before the other cores start decoding the images and such. If you have a utility like CPUz you can see if your clock speed even goes up when this happens. On my rig I have it set up so that only the cores under heavy load clock up to full speed while the lightly loaded ones process background stuff at their resting clock rate.

Doesn't happen on nuke or MEM?

And you have scripts off?

Hmm...

I'm running it at about 8% cpu load with 60+ processes on a 6-core, nothing wrong here.

Someone should straight out ask support on Abraxas. If something is going on it should come from the horses mouth

Ever since 3 days ago when I was log in to abraxas the cursor on my password field flies right and left over the ****s a bunch of times before it logs me in. I use a password manager and auto type the fields. It's freaky. What causes this and why is it new?

CPU is sayin' 10/20 Blaze it. And with all that heat, your CPU needs to turn that fan up a notch.
