I can imagine that if you have a page trying to load media in the
background (e.g. adverts that cycle through playing different media
files), it's possible that it could keep on getting called up.

I'd imagine a similar problem. You're fixing the side effect rather
than the cause.
I use Flashblock on my browser, so I don't have to put up with all the
nonsense on some webpages. I notice that if I disable it, allowing all
the content, again, some pages will peg my CPU as they load their crap.
If I allow just one thing to load, something I want to look at,
generally I'm fine. But, sometimes, even that one thing is enough to
bog the system down.
