This is a great plugin that is increasing the popularity of my site. Thanks.
I can't comply with board rules ref posting a link as the site is not accessible to the Net at the moment. Hope this is OK, but understand if not.
I heard regularly from an IE8 user that they could not get flash files to play in EnlargeIt without "stuttering" (stopping and starting, generally not playing smoothly). I finally got my hands on the offending machine now, hence this post. I found that the machine is fully updated (WinXP Pro, IE8, Flash player etc). The problem only exists when playing a flash video (in Enlargit) from the Album List screen via the Lastup line (the homepage for the site). If I play the same flash video via the Album Page for the specific album then it plays OK. I found that the key to the problem is that Slider is running simultaneously in the background on the Album List, and when attempting to play a flash video in Enlargeit from there the machine in question simply does not have enough CPU (100% used, even though the file was fully buffered).
The reason I post here on the Slider page is that I found that simply leaving the Album List screen running on an IE8 browser consumes constant CPU. I replicated it on several machines including Vista machines and found that Slider uses considerable (25-40%) CPU just sliding 15 thumbnails. Is this normal? Firefox 3.5.6 on the same machines does not suffer the same problem. On my own machine I don't notice the problem much if I switch to IE8, but only because I have a dual core machine with plenty power (it still hits the CPU usage).
I just wanted to ask if this was a common/known problem? I am using v2.15 of Slider (default options set) and Cpg v1.4.25. I only use Firefox myself, but I see that many users hit the site using IE hence I would like to resolve the issue. I would rather not adjust the site and take the Lastup line off if I can avoid it at all.
Thanks in advance, even if anyone is able only to confirm that they notice similar symptoms.
