That was probably a joke. My CPU Usage goes up to 100% in the first seconds I launch the Taskmanager.

Averaging 7% for me. I will agree though that VGChartz is a processor hog somewhat because it loads slow on my phone

I can only fear what kind of horrid, outdated hardware you people must be using if VGChartz is taxing on your CPU, it hardly bothers my netbook's 1.66 GHz Intel Atom any more than any other site, let alone my compter at home. >_>

I don't know why you are using the taskmanager to determine things like this..... at least check the performance tab rather than using the stats at the bottom.

The 5% you got for Gamespot is because it was idle at the time... had you refreshed a gamespot forum page, or opened a new page it would have spiked to 30-60% ish while it loaded the page, then gone back to 5%.

VGCharts will do exactly the same thing, you just seem to have managed a screen shot at the exact time it spikes.

exactly. I haven't checked performance in a while, but we are on par with IGN/Gamespot when I did my comparisons. We have room for improvement, but it isn't as bad as those screens suggest.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Well I've never encountered anything like this:

over at IGN or Gamespot that's for sure.
