That's what you get when you abuse of Perl regexp. Maybe caching of the
HTMLized stories would help a bit?

I installed yesterday Firefox 2.0.0 on my desktop computer, which is a silent,
low consumption computer based on a Via C3 processor (1GHz, 256 MB RAM).
Guess what? When scrolling down a long page (the main page of this blog),
Firefox was slower than Mozilla 1.7.5 which I have used for years. Mozilla was
scrolling down more or less smoothly, using up to 70% of the CPU time,
whereas Firefox was not smooth at all, using 100% of the CPU most of the time.
Firefox maybe an advanced browser, but definitely not a lightweight one
whatever some people may claim. I think I'll stick to plain old Mozilla for
still some time.

J'ai un gros rhume depuis jeudi dernier, et depuis quelques jours je n'ai plus
d'odorat (ça s'appelle anosmie, un mot
à retenir pour briller dans les salons où l'on cause). Le résultat, c'est que
plus rien n'a de goût : le jus d'orange ressemble à de l'eau acide et
vaguement sucrée, les tartines sont fades, le saucisson est simplement salé. J'ai
même accepté de manger de la soupe ce soir, c'est dire ! Jusqu'à hier,
j'aurais pu penser que la perte d'odorat était due au nez bouché, mais depuis
aujourd'hui je peux respirer à peu près librement par le nez, et l'anosmie
persiste. Même la rétro-olfaction ne
fonctionne pas, sauf à me moucher très fort, et encore les odeurs perçues sont
faibles (je suppose que la pression de l'air sur la paroi du nez a à voir avec
l'odorat).

“… a unique blend of pale, crystal, brown and chocolate malts. These malts
give the beer a wonderful chocolatey flavour, while the Fuggle hops ensure
that the beer has a smooth finish, making London Porter a perfect
accompaniment to a chocolate pudding or on its own as an after-dinner drink.”
The smell reminds me a bit of coffee, as well as some kind of ham which is
coated with spices or something like that before cooking. The taste is a bit
sweet and slightly bitter. With imagination, it can taste like chocolate, too.
Made of malted barley.
Fuller, Smith & Turner, London, England. 5.4% alcohol.

“…first brewed in 1995 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Fuller,
Smith and Turner.
Bottle conditioning, where a small amount of yeast is allowed to ferment
gently in the bottle, gives 1845 the fresh, natural flavour of real ale. A
blend of amber malt and Golding hops result in a fruit cake aroma, full bodied
malt and dry hoppy finish.”
Sweet, with a strong taste of I'm-not-sure-what-exactly, and only slightly
bitter. Made of malted barley.
Fuller, Smith & Turner, London, England. 6.3% alcohol.
