Guys,
I have watched this in top for the past week or so. Thunderbird and
Firefox are causing X cpu usage to shoot upt to between 80-100% on
simple tasks like scrolling a message list in tbird or simply opening
css menus in firefox. All of this used to be instantaneous and never
cause the cpu to bat an eye. But now, it is very pronounced and brings
the desktop to a crawl. This box is not a screamer, but plenty fast,

How do I determine what is causing this? X? ff/tb? something else?
Any ideas appreciated. Thanks.
You seem to be very fortunate lately.
What seems to be the common thread?
