I was curious what hardware component makes Netflix gui run faster? When I first load up Netflix the thumbnails show up but when I hover over them the options to choose episodes take a while to load up or if I click in the search bar it takes a while to register.

Right now I am using a
Phenom II 1090T
16gb RAM
No SSD
70mpbs internet connection

I'm guessing its either the CPU or lack of SSD but if it was the CPU I would be a little pissed because my CPU hasn't really hindered my gaming at all with my GTX 970 but my A8-4500m in my laptop (in the process of getting new laptop) is extremely slow with many web browsing tasks.

I did just notice Chrome works better than Firefox but I am still curious if hardware plays a large factor.
