Works fine for me too (Win2k). I think a little animation like this shouldn't bother anything quicker than a Pentium2. Check your computer for spywares/trojans and clean up the registries.

Think it's more likely a PC rather than connection speed issue.

The snow applet should downloaded when the first wiliamsclio page is viewed (or even cached from earlier viewing). But once it's downloaded, it's up to the PC to "render" the snow on-screen. I suspect something's not quite right in the PC itself, if the snow is slowing it down.

If the applet uses Java; try downloading the latest build from Sun and/or some PC housekeeping might be needed. Where's Northy? He should be advising us what's up with this snow problem.

Oi, you leave my computer alone and go and get a proper coloured Clio :P :D


With Explorer opened on Williamsclio, and the page down the bottom away from the snow, the CPU useage is 1 or 2%. As soon as I go back up to the top of the page, it shots up to 25% :x

That's two 2600+ processors! :P. So, luckily, 50% doesn't slow my PC at all. But on a slower machine, I would gnashing my teeth. My win2K OS setup is very clean; so I am guessing it's a combination of firefox and some java type process hogging the CPUs.

PS: The higher CPU loading is when the page is scrolled to the top with the Williamsclio banner with xmas lights. The CPU loading drops off, when I scroll down, away from the banner.
