I have seen cases where acroread would consume 100% CPU time, even if I restarted acroread, until I completely exited/restarted firefox. I don't remember the exact details, but it seemed like they may have been in competition for an X resource. I don't remember if both firefox or acroread were both eating up CPU time or not. In my case this was under F7. Nataraj -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
