As I understood the topic was unusual CPU loads.  Since you mentioned
adverts (considering they are often responsible for strange CPU loads),
I thought I mention a feature FF will have in the future.  Tests by devs
suggest the feature improves on CPU load and page load times
significantly.

Again, I thought this was relevant for a discussion of CPU loads,
specially after you pointed out the single-threaded nature of FF.  I
just didn't know if the Fedora supplied version already has it.
