    I turned on the snow, it slows everything down, typing, selecting, voice recognition, Pages loading.
    Using an Android tablet with Chrome.
    Went back and forth 4 times turning it off and on

    Sorry it slows down your system, I think most systems won't have any slow down from it.

    Well, something's up with that tablet, snowflakes are much smaller on it also.
    Tried the phone and other tablet and PC, no slow down on those

    I don't know what it is, this one tablet still gets screwy everytime I turn the snow on, all the other devices are fine

    That's weird. I wonder if its an older tablet or what? Glad it's working on most things.

    Hey Mr. Grizzly do suppose the following might cause some issues for other than I7 users.

    // Set the number of snowflakes (more than 30 - 40 not recommended)
    var snowmax=300

    I could scale it back some, works good on most devices from what I can tell though.

    It doesn't bother me but those blurbs are warnings that YMWV (your mileage will vary) I run an I7 haven't seen it break a sweat but could likely cause it to.

    Any better guys on slower devices? It looks great on my ipad right now, on which it has previously been sluggish.
