That depends on a number of factors, including current cpu, ram, and swap space conditions. Can you be more specific?

I can tell you off the bat I don't need a lot of these -- I don't even use Evolution.
Yeah there are a bunch of services there that you don't need.
It's a concern that Xorg is taking over 50% of the CPU. Do you have the right driver for your video card?

Does Opera have features like Tab Mix Plus? (or is that what's causing the problems?)
I like my FF, and was so happy I was able to import everything from my old desktop to here with no fuss...even saved passwords and all that.

I don't have much experience with Opera. Tab Mix Plus is not the problem.
Did you try the workaround? Remember you have to completely log out and then log back in.
I put it in, but don't have time to log out and log back in. Racing to finish something before I leave soon. I'll check when I get back Monday.
Thanks for your help. I'll let you know.

I think you have a couple of choices:
1) Compile FF3 beta and see if that helps.
2) Use a different browser until FF3 stable comes out.
At the very least you should use a different browser temporarily to test if the performance problems persist.
At 512 Meg RAM you're stretching it. Gnome is a hog. Kill everything, leave just X and fvwm2 and see if it persists. Check webpage for strange code (JavaScript or Flash or something) - that's always a cycle hog.

She's running XFCE, which is puny compared to gnome. But you're absolutely right about Javascript & Flash.
I can't live without h.com javascript
Flash I will kill and see what happens.
I'll experiment with Opera and maybe FF3...but I do need FF open as I have the Nagios extension which I kind of need.

I have a videotape of you dancing naked, and I won't hesitate to post it on the trucks carrying tubes.
(I'm sorry. I just feel like that IS my avatar as I've never changed it. But I'm not complaining about H anymore -- all websites are very annoying. For instance, http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?LACT which has no flash or animated GIFs or anything also takes up all CPU usage, albeit for less time since it takes shorter to load.)
So you have established that FF is slow. We know that. Now kill firefox and try a different browser and let us know if there is a difference.
Ok, I installed Opera. Many sites are only using 100% CPU for a split second, which is much better. Others (like theyeshivaworld.com) are much worse, and I have not installed any flash player.

Block javascript and flash for the annoying sites.
(With Opera there was no flash.)
I just downloaded FF3. Gonna test that now.
