it's always been bad but now it's gotten worse -- over the last few weeks, the combination of firefox and npviewer.bin is just crushing my machine in terms of response.
"top" shows that the combo of those two programs is regularly chewing up from 100 to 150 per cent of my CPU (if not more). is this normal? is this what others are seeing? because if firefox 3 turns out to be the same kind of processor hog, it's going to be time to dump firefox for good.
"100 to 150 per cent of my CPU", doesn't make a lot of sense, are you sure it means what you think it means?
