One last note.  I noticed everyone talking about this being a browser issue or Firefox issue.  It isn't.  This is all comes down to the swf files themselves how good the hardware is you have it running on.  Since the swf files are rendered locally it will be specific to each computer accessing your charts.  If you've got a lot of high end graphics computers going to them they'll be fine.  If you've got a lot of the average corporate low end machines accessing them they'll be slow which is why you'll want to remake the swf files with lower frame rates.  Again, Fusion Charts could and should change these files to use lower frame rates so that this isn't an issue.  You can't really tell the difference between one of these charts loading at 120 fps or 60 fps.  And the end users really won't.  Have a good one.

Thank you for the response, but from my experience Firefox does seem to be a culprit here. As I stated in my previous post (and others had the same experience) - IE renders the page without a problem at about 1-2% of one of my cpu cores. It's completely responsive, and scrolls with no problem. The charts work great. Firefox absolutely caps out one of my 2 cores, so much that the thread effectively halts Firefox so that I have to close the process entirely. Bad mojo.

As for the type of machine - I could be wrong, but I don't think graphics card should have too much to do with it. I don't believe Flash even supported hardware acceleration until 9, but FusionCharts are using Flash 8. But that said, I have a PCIe DX9 graphics card with 256MB - Not high-end, but definitely not Intel Integrated either. My CPU is a dual-core Intel. Not the latest, but not a slouch by business standards. My home machine is much more high-end, I'll try it here as well.

This was a great post.  ( fix our cpu problems )

I ran into cpu usage issues many months back when trying to use  the wmod=transparent.  Our dashboard had issues in both IE and FF.  We are running an internal dashboard under FF2, we have probably 40 browser windows open with 60-65 flash objects.  We pretty much eat up most of the dual core, we run two instances of FF and both processes consistently use 35 - 50 %.

We tried FF3 with just 1 browser window and 5 flash objects and it immediately hits 50% cpu.

Today I set the framerate to 5, since we are not doing any animation, and our dashboard now averages about 10-20% cpu usage.

Just go on http://www.fusioncharts.com/widgets/Demos/SparkDashboard/Index.html with Firefox 3.0.1 and Flash 9.0.124

CPU usage remain extremly high

With IE there is no problem with the same flash version

I just read about the new update, and no mention of a fix for this, or 20fps files?

What's the deal...

Yeah, I am wondering what the deal is as well.

We really need a fix within the next month or so for our release...

Same... We were actually sent the 20fps charts for this - but if we update to the new version for the other fixes, it sounds like we lose our 20fps?

Also, we purchased an enterprise license for the whole suite, so we don't have them for charts/widgets/power either.
