It runs a Radeon graphics chip and, for several Firefox operations that involve significant screen updates. (For example, "Save page as...".) It makes downloading with Firefox rather painful. xorg is eating most of the CPU. Other browsers (such as Epiphany and Galeon) don't have this problem. The system has had this problem for a long time, through several versions of Firefox and Xorg. I am pretty sure it was showing up with xorg-6.9 and maybe before. It has even survived a complete re-install of all ports. I'd love to see this fixed! -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
