To catch up on previous questions: The system is Lenny on an i386 with a 1700 MHz Celeron and 1 Gb RAM, ASUS P4PE motherboard. The slow performance (nearly full processor utilization) occurs not only with iceweasel but also with galeon (2.0.4), on a variety of web sites. I do not recall having installed browser extensions. I typically have open half a dozen browser windows. Yesterday I was running galeon, rather than iceweasel. While editing a file with XEmacs, I noticed the cursor moving with jumps, rather than smoothly. Then I saw that galeon was hogging the processor. I began closing browser windows one-by-one, and found one window which was causing the problem. But I did not see anything peculiar about the web site (a news site or blog, I forget which) which was in view. Should I follow the procedure which generally is recommended for a Window$ installation which displays the same symptom -- reinstall the entire system?
