Also in regards to linux flash freezes, using flashblock stops 95%(made up
stats) of the freezing.  Using this method with the regular player, not
debug + flashblock gives me about as good of flash experience on FreeBSD as
a Windows system.

I sometimes have firefox freeze on me because nsviewer.bin crashes (aka 
flash).  It does a core dump and firefox freezes until that finishes.  

Do you have any .core files in your home directory?  Also look at IO activity 
when firefox freezes next.  

With regards to PIM, I had KMail refusing to type sometimes, I found 
`akonadictl restart` or if akonadi isn't running `akonadictl start` fixes the 
problem.

David

I am still testing things but I was good for a few days and then
reinstalled that and found my cpu "leaked" again. I have removed it and
reinstalled gnash and my cpu is back to normal.

I'm
extremely curious to see what you find here. This seems to be one of the
big culprits for me.

Ok, for
that issue in Firefox, there's thread somewhere that suggests you change
how often it saves the bookmarks as if you have many open, you will see
freezes exactly like that.

Try that suggestion to fix that issue with Firefox.

I do have the linux-flash plugin installed and nspluginwrapper. I'll get it
uninstalled and try out gnash. Although when KDE goes to sleep, my CPU is
not chocking at all.

Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in
a million chances happen 99% of the time.

no... all the other programs are fine, with the exception of Firefox which
tends to sleep at times... its unresponsive for about 15-20 seconds then
comes back to life. I'll give it a more rigorous check and get back.

Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in
a million chances happen 99% of the time.
