Mmm... interesting. Note there's also Xorg there, taking too much of your CPU cycles. I've seen this before, Google will confirm: http://bit.ly/LNMAzg But if you say you experience the same problem with another applications, this points to a component that is shared between them, and I can only think in Xorg and the VGA drivers. There's a additional "but" here and is that as you are using Lenny, I can guess that none of these two could have changed recently so the mistery still remains unless you installed "something" recently :-) >> Disable the flash plugin at all (and so the same foe whatever >> additional version you can have installed, e.g., "gnash") and retry.

Well, yes, the Firefox start page shouldn't be problematic _unless_ you are using the new feature that displays the latest visited sites in thumbnails ;-) >> You can also run the same tests you are doing with Firefox but using a >> different browser to compare both results. > Yes.

GNOME system monitor can become an intensive task, I mean, is not a good tool to use to compare with, but you can try to reproduce the CPU pikes launching different applications (e.g., OOo writer, gedit, any Qt based app that you may have installed, a java tool...).
