I’m noticing the last year that scripts are seriously slowing down my whole computer. It gets to where I’ll be typing a post (like this one) and it freezes up for a few seconds and then the characters show up, freezes up again, etc.
And my internet access is via my phone as a hot spot (we live in the sticks) and I pay big bucks for that bandwidth.
I bet you are using Firefox, eh?
I’ve noticed a lot of issues with scripts locking up Firefox, and even Flash player running through Firefox can hog enough memory to freeze a machine.
