I think you mean nonresponsive, but I love the comment that firefox/iceweasel is irresponsible. Perhaps its web designers who are irresponsible.

Run top in an xterm/rxvt/whatever with a 0.25 second delay. You could even run it in batch mode for 100 repititions and tee it to a file for checking after the 4-second event. Look for not just the CPU load for that process, but CPU and IO load globally. [snip strace] > But I think this strace doesn't give any clue. I've never needed to learn how to read strace output. > Somebody with the same problem ? Any workarround ? I'm on dialup. Its normal for me to wait for iceweasel to grab a page and display it. Sure it runs the CPU to 0% idle at times. That's the whole reason I bought by new computer: Athlon64 3800+ with 1 GB ram: because iceweasel/firefox uses a lot of resources. Most everything else in my life can run just fine on my 486 or P-II. > I didn't install any plugin recently (only tamper data and developer > extension installed on my iceweasel) I don't know what they do.
