It automatically loads a chunk of data when I scroll to the bottom. The CPU use seems to be proportional to the number of chunks that have been loaded. Initially about 2% and increasing to 50% with 20 chunks.
The new twitter almost unusable because of this. Hoping for a fix soon.
I've been keeping twitter open in its own Firefox browser on one screen (of three). It routinely refreshes itself and there is some kind of memory leak whereas after a day it is consuming about half a gig of memory, forcing me to kill and restart.
A tab should be completely and utterly destroyed when refreshed. It doesn't matter how much memory it used, refreshing it or navigating away from that page should (ignoring optimizations, caching, etc. etc. etc.) be like you were never there.
Just look at the hundreds of complaints here: http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/firefox-3-is-still-a-memory-ho...
And this is one way that dominant sites fall: business considerations are given priority over the user experience. Maybe they just have Flickr-itis and just can't adapt to leaving well enough alone, but for the time being I'm on old-Twitter and not contributing much to the Twitterverse until this is sorted out. If it never winds up being fixed, I've got a head start in living without them.
There is also a possible Second System Effect amongst Twitter's UX gods. It's interesting that after having switched to the new Twitter a couplefew weeks ago, last week I started seeing a "Wanna switch back to the old Twitter?" header. Of course I did, but to me this possibly points to a level of complaints that I did not realize.
I noticed the same thing on my girlfriends CR-48, twitter wont scroll properly (studders) and everything else hangs a bit. She filed a bug report with google chrome os support, but I suspect twitter is doing a lot of heavy stuff in the background.
