Has anyone else noticed severe delays and high cpu usage when browsing
http://www.ouya.tv/games/ ?
On my Linux laptop, the browser freezes for 10 to 15 seconds each time I load or re-sort the game list. If I click on a game to see its details, it opens quickly, but when I close the details to go back to the game list, there is another delay of 10 to 15 seconds.
I watch the CPU monitor when this happens, and one of the two CPU's is maxed out at 100% the whole time.
This isn't a very fast computer, but it doesn't do this for any other website.
I tested with both Firefox and Chromium, and they both had the same delay.
Thinking it might be a linux-specific problem, I tested on my Mac. It is a faster machine, but it also locks up for about 6 seconds when loading the game list.
I tried using Chrome Mobile on my iPhone, and it froze fro about 30 seconds and then completely crashed.
The only Windows computer I have to test with is a very fast one with 8 cores. I tested there with all 3 of Firefox, Chrome, and IE, and none of them had a delay of more than half a second, but I did notice a big spike in cpu usage that does not happen when loading other sites.
So has anybody else seen similar symptoms?

Take some time and learn Designer-Friendly Programming 101.
It takes a LONG time for the javascript to process. If you turn of javascript whilst in the loading process, you can scroll through the page without delay. Of course you can't click on anything then.
My suspicion is, that all that popup windows? They preload them all at once. Might seem like a good idea when there's only 50 games, so when you click on something it's there instantly. But with 300 games? Mega overhead? They should change it to AJAX, that there's only ONE box and that gets updated whenever you click a game.
