Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ntlmaps

Currently ntlmaps runs with niceness of 0. For any reason the process
consumes a lot of CPU when http connection is active over the proxy. So
much CPU that GUI responsiveness degrades dramatically if 3 or more
pages are being loaded simultaneously in Firefox. The solution is to
renice ntlmaps process. http connection performance doesn't degrade and
this fixes computer responsiveness.

I usually add "-N 19" to the /etc/init.d/ntlmaps startup script so
startup section looks as following:

  start)
        echo -n "Starting $DESC: "
        start-stop-daemon --start -N 19 --quiet --pidfile /var/run/$NAME.pid \
                --background --exec $DAEMON -- $DAEMON_OPTS
        echo "$NAME."
        ;;

** Affects: ntlmaps (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
