  • deformed images or images with artifacts resulting from file compression

  • low-resolution (pixelated) images, or images that are blurry.


1 To test the level of CPU usage, advertising materials use a dedicated computer (an Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU P9600@ 2,53 GHz, 2 GB RAM, and 64-800 MB video memory) running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. This computer is configured in a standard manner to operate in an office. A special page is loaded, which only contains this banner, for testing purposes. No other programs are running at the time.
The CPU load level is evaluated using the Task Manager.
During such tests, the banner should not take up more than 50% of the CPU’s resources based on information in the Performance tab of Task Manager (Update Speed is set to High for the test). If 50% of the CPU’s resources are used for a considerable amount of time (fractions of a second) or the CPU load peaks over 70%, the banner is considered to take up too much of the computer’s resources. RAM usage is not optimized, and no additional utilities or programs are loaded on start-up. After logging in (without any applications running), the amount of memory used by system processes is around 62-63 MB according to the Task Manager.
