Question

Which of the following uses a lot of CPU cycles?

(a) GUI

(b) Statically generated graphics

(c) Dynamically generated graphics

(d) Generic scoping

The question was posed to me in a job interview.

I would like to ask this question from Closures in section Lexical Structures of JavaScript

Answer 1

Correct choice is (c) Dynamically generated graphics

To elaborate: Dynamic graphics for data, means simulating motion or movement using the computer. It may also be thought of as multiple plots linked by time. Hence dynamically generating graphics from real-time data uses a lot of CPU cycles.
