IE holding up too many resources - how to limit the cpu usage for

Asked By GrJ Computers, Javi, essejc,

I posted this on the IE section and a MVP suggest it I try here:
Hello,
We are running a Terminal Server with Server 03 x64. Currently there are
between 10-15 users logged in. From time to time we encountered serious
slowness. When we look at the CPU usage, IE from random users is what is
holding up the most. Some have pdfs open, others just have multiple tabs and
so on...
Is there a way I can allocate only certain percent of CPU usage to IE? Per
user? I found IEThrottle online but we prefer if it within windows or a third
party application; not an Add-in to IE. Any suggestions? Is it possible to do
this using Windows? Thank you!

IEThrottle works, but it is a workaround that will degrade the user's
experience almost to the same extent that they are experiencing now, although
the instantaneous load on the server will be lightened.  But do not shy away
from IEThrottle just because it is an add-on.

Alternatively, you could experiment with Firefox.  There is an add-on called
pages that insist on being viewed with IE.  But even though I have both
browsers running at this very minute and I will probably never completely
abandon IE, I do not have nearly as many problems with Firefox, and it is
becoming my new workhorse.  I switched to Firefox after years of resistance
and only out of frustration.  it is worth consideration.

However, the best suggestion that I can give you is to get another Terminal
Server box.  It sounds like you are outgrowing this one.  With 10-15 users
logged in and using IE and heaven-only-knows-what-else, this problem should
be expected.

And do not forget: Terminal Servers should be powerhouses.  Tell the
accounting department that you cannot skrimp on processor cores, speed, and
memory, or users' productivity will suffer the way it is being degraded now.

No, I suggested windows.server.security newsgroup.

Oh ok. I cannot find what you mean. I am a bit confused about where you are
directing me. Sorry. I do not see a server link under windows.
Ok I see now. Thank you!!"GrJ Computers, Javi, essejc," wrote:
