Browser vs Download

Is the browser version lighter (less CPU usage) than the downloadable version?

I play more than 5 tables using my browser(Chrome) but my laptop with 6Gb of RAM keeps lagging when playing 3 at the client.

    It's the other way round, the download client is significantly lighter in CPU usage.

    Really?

    Well, I have to check my computer then and figure out the problem. Why is my laptop behaving like that???

    Thank you for the responce Machka.

    The download client uses way more CPU on my laptop, over 50% when I play 2 or more tables, it causes lagging and time outs

    However I can play 4 tables no problem in windows explorer

    Agreed, sky bet support have not been able to help me, I am sure its not my laptop as I use it for multi - tabling accross 2-3 sites and 4-8 tables at a time when I am not playing on sky

    As soon as I have a sky table open I have no chance of playing anything else than that 1 table :-(
