I'm currently running firefox 3.0.3, mozilla build, under fedora 7
(yes, I know I need to upgrade to 3.0.6, also to fedora 10).. 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?
