Further information

CPU goes to 100% when Quantas advert at top of page is active.  I am 
using onboard gpu on K8M800-M2 Rev 2 motherboard.  S3 UniChrome Pro 
2D/3D Graphics with standard Ubuntu driver install.

It I page down so advert is not visible, then CPU usage reverts to
normal.

I think it is a case of slow video chipset with fancy 3D effects.  I 
notice other sites also run slow at times.  ie  Melbourne age newspaper  
and suspect similar issues.

Guess its old hardware and not worth the effort to improve the drivers
