Hi Dale,
    Thanks, this actually explains quite a bit for me. Do you know if
the HTML parser delegates to which ever parser you have under
javascript and css? So, if I change the parser for javascript to
"javascript" instead of "ecmascript"  it'll delegate to the
"javascript" parser instead?

In regards to the extraordinary CPU usage one day, and nearly none the
next. I noticed something last night with the OpenIt plugin. My CPU
spikes from 1-2% (normal) to 60-100% when it's indexing the files.
It's possible that OpenIt was indexing and the js parser added another
spike, and something just got stuck (maybe some sort of disc
contention). I had OpenIt indexing my entire development directory
which contains about 6 full projects. I had the refresh rate set to 1
minute, and it's entirely possible that it was taking longer than 1
minute to index the entire directory. So my thought is that OpenIt was
just continuously indexing, and the sidekick plugin just added to the
fire.

I have since reduced the refresh rate to 5 minutes, and restricted the
path to the current projects files.

This seems to have fixed the cpu issue for me at least. I will keep
watching though.

Thank you everyone for the help.
Eric
