This is one of those link graphics that's actually a java distributed computer aplication. Although, It didn't seem to be using any CPU on my machine.. I clearly saw the applet load, but it never wound up actually using any system resources.. OSX problem perhaps? Couldn't retrieve some file? Didn't look closely.

Well, I'll say this at least.. Its not uncommon these days to visit certain web pages that suck down serious CPU. Now it may not just be flash apps and whatnot.
