You're lucky you actually only get it when scrolling. I get it what 
seems to be randomly with Mozilla 1.3.

I notice the same behavior in Pan. I wonder if it's a gtk2 or
something to do with fonts.

I get a bit of a spike when scrolling in sylpheed, too (though not as
high as in moz or pan).
 

I use mainly helvetica in mozilla if that makes any difference.

[newbie] scrolling in mozilla/firebird eats up cpu

Scrolling up/down a lengthy web page in Mozilla quickly eats up my cpu
usage. Running top I see that it's both Mozilla and X (moreso X) that's
utilizing the cpu. The machine becomes somewhat sluggish with this,
which is why I've been using dillo.

Anyway, now that I'm trying to figure out why, anybody else experience
this or know of a remedy (besides upgrading)?

k6-2 @ 500MHz, 384MB RAM, crappy ATI video card, incorrectly id'd as a
Rage XL AGP. I believe it's an Xpert 98 with a whopping 8MB  of powerful
memory and ATI RAGE graphics technology.
