Look out for flash adverts on any page you are viewing, cricinfo, stuff and facebook all use that sort of thing and they absolutely kill my mac. If the kids have left facebook open and then switched users, performance goes through the floor (particularly if all three of them have been doing the same thing). Their FF sessions can be taking up 15-25% cpu each which is ridiculous for a app that isn't even being actively used.
