Problem with AcWebBrowser.exe

[Anonymous]

Hi, 

Since I have upgraded to Inventor 2018, I got resource issues due to acWebBrowser which consumed too much resources. 

Here is what I do to reproduce the problem : 

I have built an small program based on C++ and Inventor API, this small program enables to load files (STEP) and performed an analysis of the file topology (does it contains surfacis, is it an iPart,...). 

When I run the program on several files, the computer starts to be very slow after some times and when I look at the machine resources, I see that ACWebBroswer is consuming far too much resources. (see attached files).

With previous inventor versions : 2017, 2016 ... 11. I didn't have this problem.

Is it a bug from ACWebBrowser?

Could you help me to solve it?

Thanks
