 * When I tried this plugin, after just a few minutes, my computer was using 100%
   CPU of which about 90% was Firefox, with only the page with the plugin on, open.
   The RAM was also very high. The computer I used is a Pentium 4 (3GHz) with HT
   tegnology (a comonly used machine). I just want to bring this under your attention
   that in some cases this might become a problem. It is a very good plugin, but
   the resources of the visitors might be a little bit low (Taking that I have visitors
   using Windows 2000 with IE 5).

 * [@jacotheron](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jacotheron/) : hmm… that’s 
   really strange because** my CPU says 0% on firefox when i load the page**…
    You
   should really try more than 1 computer before saying the plugin is bad!
 * _You must have a firefox plugin or another webpage open that does the 100% cpu
   usage, or who knows what else!_
 * Thank you for the post but this problem does not exist.

 * ciprian_vb, you didn’t read Jacotheron’s post properly.
 * He said the plugin is very good.
 * He explained the problem clearly, politely and helpfully.
 * If, say, 1 in 100 of people reading a blog of mine using firefox had the problem
   as described, that would be enough to put me off using it.
 * Saying it works OK on *your* setup means nothing. It has to work efficiently 
   on all setups (or degrade gracefully).
 * I thought I might use this plugin but you have successfully dissuaded me from
   trying it out on my blogs.

 * I tend to agree with nickathome, I was going to give it a try but you attitude
   dissuaded me too.

 * Hm, im using the plugin, it works fine, if mr Jacotheron downloads porno while
   surfing with his IE 5, right 5. So it IS NOT A PLUGINS FAULT.
    Get a proper browser,
   in fact I don’t think that IE should be called browser, especialy the 5version

 * I’ve been using this excellent plugin with no problems at all. Tested in IE 7&
   8, Firefox 3.5, Chrome 2something and Opera 10.
