How about your ram?

When that happens, run "top" and look for the CPU and MEM columns.

The first step I'd do is updating Firefox to 13.0.1 (it works like a 
charm in my lenny). But you can also run more tests, like disabling your 
add-ons and plugins (mainly flash player) and check for any improvement 
once you have turn all them off.

Also, ensure you have the latest flash player plugin version installed, 
now "11.2.202.236".
