Gmail’s new version 2 interface might be a slight improvement visually, but it sure does not like Internet Explorer 7 very much.
If you use the scrollbar at all the cpu usage for iexplore.exe gets pegged to 100% for a couple of seconds. I have not looked into what it is actually doing yet – not interested enough perhaps. If you switch back to the old interface (there is a link up on the top right of the page) the problem goes away. The only hassle is that this setting is not saved, the next time you log in you are back to the regular interface.
Curiously if you scroll with the keyboard it works fine. Scrolling with the scroll wheel or the edge of the touchpad hangs it up too. Seems to be in the handling of the onScroll (or whatever) event.
[Edit] It seems to be a problem with FlashGet. Disabling the FlashGet GetFlash Class makes the problem go away. Interestingly enough FlashGet still seems to work just fine…
