Have you noticed that Jaws seems to hang on some rss feeds? Some of my
favourite feeds take a while to load. In the mean time, Jaws appears to hang.
My test is to press the numlock key. Jaws won't say a thing till the darn rss
feed has finished loading. Sometimes takes 20 seconds or more. I can't alt
tab or do anything till then.
Here is the worst feed:

While researching this. I found out some web pages can cause IE8 to spike cpu
usage over 60%. Microsoft is aware of this but hasn't offered a patch.
Another symptom is that my cpu fan on my laptop would always run when loading
some rss feeds and some pages.
