300 Megabits? From where are you getting these numbers? >In activity Monitor - about 102% of Cpu goes to the Browser - not >sure how that happens. Change it to update less often.

The former puts Flash under control immediately. The latter an older/grumpy inputmanager, that will block any url you feed it. It comes with a massive list, that I find slows things down, so I just have it use my own short custom list. >I usually have 10 or so pages with multiple tabs.

If you were dealing with just Safari, then leaving it running for such a long time would be fine. But you're not. There be Flash here. And Flash - besides chewing memory and cpu even when supposedly "idle", has some serious memory leaks. The only way to clear the leaks is to quit the browser now and then.
