High CPU Usage on PMC?

Typically when I'm on the internet with only one tab open, my CPU is at a nice ~20 percent. When I go on PMC in any of the non-Forums section, my CPU usage stays at around ~50%. Although this is high it still functions fine. However, if I try to type something, my CPU usage skyrockets to 100%. Does anyone know what causes this? I've disabled the active banner and my processor is:
AMD Phenom(tm) 9150e Quad-Core Processor (4 CPUs), ~1.8GHz

When its loading. Try not to move the mouse/cursor around a lot. It creates some lag. Just let it load. Then do what you need to.

My CPU usage is at around 0-1%. When I change or open a new page, it spikes up for a second depending what is on the screen but that happens with all pages. For example I open my Flickr photostream, it spikes to ~30% (because of the photos) and then returns to 0-1%. Watching a YouTube video at 1080p fullscreen gives a steady 3-5%.

Most of the work goes to the GPU anyway (and the sound card if you have one).

Typing doesn't make a difference in CPU usage. Dunno why your goes to 100%.

I have a i7-3770k at 4.0Ghz

Depends what web browser, or extensions you have installed. PMC doesn't usually suck up too much CPU usage, from what I've seen.

Google chrome is slower on my computer and I don't need a 3rd web browser...
