It should come with a warning that its gonna peg a cpu on my macbook with firefox. Google is my homepage. I don't expect to lose half my battery by opening firefox and stepping away for 20 minutes.

It's very fast for me on Chrome for Windows but the fan kicked in as soon as I opened the page. Looking at the Chrome task manager it's using a huge proportion of the CPU compared to other tabs.

I'm a little surprised by that since it's just HTML and CSS. And mac chrome's having no problems; my fan's not even spinning.
> since it's just HTML and CSS
I've tried gadgets like this many times (though nothing as cool as that buckyball) and it's been my experience every time. It's slow because it's just HTML and CSS.

Very fast here, chrome on ubuntu.
True, but Chrome is the exception, with it's awesome JS JIT.

This actually runs fine on my nexus one. Based on other comments here I'm rather impressed with the performance.
Try to upgrade to Chrome - that should solve the issue.
But yeah, it is a little waste full for something like googles home page.

happened to me too. I didn't notice it until I heard the fan blasting, and it took me a while to realize what was going on :P
who is downvoting this? It works flawlessly for me but for others this is a valid complaint.
Works beautiful on Fx b4
I actually had to restart my browser (FF3.6 Ubuntu).
What's a mackbook?
