Anyway, one of the problems I find is that firefox just chews up CPU cycles doing nothing. Right now it's eating 15% of my 3.06 ghz Xeon CPU while I'm typing this message in evolution. Quite often it starts eating 80% or more of the CPU time and I find I have to start closing tabs or restarting it to get it to stop. I do notice very severe performance problems with firefox when it does this. Does anyone else see unreasonable usage of CPU resources from Firefox?
