Massive CPU usage also on firefox. (Score 1)

Yup, same here. Using Firefox 3.6.13 on Linux and CPU usage jumps to ~70% while having a single tab opened with this slashdot discussion. WHILE IDLE, after loading the page. What's up with that??

Front slashdot page keeps it at about 15% CPU.

Seriously Slashdot? 70% CPU just for having a page open?? I've gone through all the /. interface iterations (Including OMG ponies! which this new layout actually makes me miss) and got used to every one. But having the CPU usage equivalent of a kernel compilation just by having the browser sitting idle while I read a discussion is kind of a showstopper to me.

Running on dual core i3 @2.40 GHz, FYI.
