Script consuming crazy amounts of CPU

With newest versions of Firefox script became unusable - when I load twitter page, CPU usage goes through the roof. I've tried it on both linux and windows machines.

I know it's this script for sure, because when I turn off every other script this still happens.

The weirdest thing is that when I turn ooff the script for a while and turn it back on later, it goes back to normal.

Any ideas what might be the problem?

The high amount of CPU is caused because I attempt to process tweets every couple seconds instead of when they are inserted into the timeline.

This is a design flaw. I need to fix this, however I have not got around to it.

Can you check the current version 11.8? Then let me know if you are still seeing the same issues.

CPU spikes when you load the page (which is to be expected) and then goes down once the page and all inline stuff is loaded. So problem solved! Thank you.

Version 11.8 fixed my high CPU problem as well. Thanks Troy!

Ok, it seems I am having this problem of high CPU usage and then Firefox locking up for a a while ... until the 'unresponsive, stop script' dialogue comes up [...jquery.min.js:19].
This happens when going to view more tweets at the bottom of the page.
This is only happening for me on 11.8
I have downgraded to 11.7

I'm getting the same "unresponsive script" error when clicking the "more" button at the bottom of the page - I've only got "show replies" "autocomplete" and "shrink urls" selected. Tried clearing the script cache and nothing doing. FF 3.6.10 & script 11.8
