01:11.00GGDcrap my us is 50%
01:14.46GGDhey plarsen
01:15.39plarsenus ?
01:15.44plarsenhey GGD
01:15.58GGDon top
01:16.02GGDwhen i run top
01:16.21GGDcpu: 50.2% us
01:17.20GGDany ideas?
01:17.34GGDthere isn't any flash that i could see in top either
01:17.40GGDjsut firefox
01:18.41plarsenGGD, you're on dual core I bet - one of your cores is at full blast
01:18.51plarsenLook at the top and look for the process taking the time
01:19.16plarsenAnd even if you're not using flash - it can still take your CPU. The nature of flash is such :D
01:20.40GGDfirefox 41:31.41  --- what does that mean?
01:21.03plarsenThat during it's lifetime it's receive 41.31 cpu minutes
01:21.13plarsenYou need to look at the percentage
01:22.02GGD97-100%
01:23.06plarsenOk - so you can look at threads to see which one if you wish. I think you'll find if you kill firefox and restart it, it'll be back to normal.  If not, you have a java-script or similar stuff running in an indefinitely loop. Page should not be responsive if that's the case.
01:24.53GGDit is slower... thats for sure it take a while to bring it entirely into "focus"
01:26.54GGDok i killed the pid
01:27.08GGDand it went back to 2%
01:39.32plarsen:)
01:43.57GGDbut when i clicked on firefox i went back up again
01:49.21plarsenGGD, make sure you're not loading up tabs
01:49.41plarsenIf you're on your default page, ie. google search and you have that much CPU, I would start firefox in safe-mode. You have a plugin that's going bonkers
01:49.58plarsenAnd while in safe-mode remove the last plugin you installed (or disable it)
01:50.03GGDi have a few tabs
01:57.07plarsenClose them one by one
01:57.14plarsenSee which one causes the CPU to go down
01:57.28plarsenThat's the one with the bad javascript or similar object that a plugin is using
02:14.42GGDEbay one go figure
02:17.45GGD10.4%
02:17.47GGDnow
02:25.34plarsenMay be someone who planted some bad scripting stuff on their page
02:31.19GGDperhaps
