I have always used Google as my home page as it is quick to load and reliable, if Google doesn't load the internet is down.
I've just noticed however that the latest home page with the Ferris Wheel is thrashing my lowly P4 with 2GB RAM.
All is fine since changing it to something else.
Anyone else noticed this ?

I'll be Binging it for the time being .
I use the latest version of Chrome on an Intel Atom (circa. 2007) without any slowdowns.
Firefox but it is only the Ferris Wheel causing it, not had a problem before with Google. I get the same happening on sites like this but as someone pointed out if I hover over the scrolling text below 'Featured Jobs' it stops.
I was getting the same problem with Chrome on my old 1Gb RAM XP laptop.
I changed to https://encrypted.google.com/ which resolves to the standard Google logo.
Just use a blank page as home page
Yes but not as bad as the Ferris wheel, I've changed to your suggestion and it seems to have done the trick thanks.
