Follow-up Comment #1:

I agree that has been a most annoying behavior of that fundraising banner!  I
could not leave a tab open on any of the GNU or FSF pages for the entire time
that the banner has been available or after some time sitting there it would
go to 100% cpu as you reported.  I would usually notice because I would get a
cpu heat throttle notification.  Then I would go look for tabs open and close
them.

I complained about it upstream to sysadmin but there was no resolution for it.
 They did not have a fix.  So in the end I like all of the rest of us just had
to wait until the fundraising campaign ended.  And I think the feeling was
that it was only for a limited time so everyone could push through it until
the campaign end.

Plus charitable giving was down this year.  Which made it quite uncomfortable
to ask to remove the banner before the campaign ended. Because we rely upon
those donations to fund the project.

There isn't anything we on the Savannah side can do about the cpu problem with
the fundraising banner.  It isn't our code.  I would only be able to add your
complaints to mine with sysadmin.

In any case the fundraiser campaign has now ended.  So your bug ticket came at
the absolute end of it anyway.  It is already gone now.  And each year it is a
new banner with new code.  All we can do is to wait until next year!
