This poster solved a similar high CPU usage by installing a bitcoin mining blocker. Might give it a try....would also be another data point as to whether IB's ad service is allowing bitcoin miners to slip in:

One thing that has been reported in the news lately is the use of Javascript Cryptocurrency Miner by some sites.

But I think I found a solution to the huge CPU and memory usage in Chrome on Windows. I installed the "No Coin" extension that blocks coin mining in browser and that has drastically reduced CPU and memory usage on FT.

You guys have a real problem with ad quality control since you're allowing coin miners to hijack your site.
