Not really anything that causes problems or anything but thought I would mention it anyway.  If I OD on eds in the yard the countdown timer before I regain

consiousness

is different for the the view in the yard than when I go to my mail for example.

 

Eg.  After being knocked out for 20 minutes the time on my mail page might say 30 secs left while the timer in the yard page might say 2 minutes 20.  Once the time has been reached on the main game pages I can refresh the yard knockout page and I am revived even though it says I have a min or two left so assume its the yard screen thats running slow.

They're the same time (with the yard intentionally offset maybe a couple seconds). However, as it's javascript that runs on YOUR computer, it can degrade and slow down if your computer experiences any sort of hiccups, hangs or slowdowns.

Most I've seen it off personally is about 5 seconds

Ah ok. I have seen a difference of about 2 minutes 30 seconds after approximately a 20 min knockout . My work computer is an 8 Gig, 3.6 GHz beast but my home computer is old and slow so the the big differences probably happened on that.

Thanks Mu

Possibly. Keep in mind that the speed of your computer matters, but isn't the only factor. Say you open a tab in your browser that locks your browser for a second, or has a crapload of images/gifs that tax your system/browser. All those things add up.

Ok cool. All this makes sense - and on my work computer I do have over 200 tabs open at any one time (comp handles it easy) when I am not running any of the high demand solver programs. Thanks for feeding my curiosity.
