I don't think you are imagining things, as I tend to see similar things. Every time I see it though, it is firefox/seamonkey related ... and stopping and then restarting the browser has fixed the problem for me. I also notice that this happens when I have too many tabs open (I sometimes get as many as 30 tabs open). I never really looked to see how much memory was in use or the load ... as I just chalked it up to too many tabs and some kind of memory leak or another. As I stated before, closing then reopening the browser does usually fix it for me. Since I normally use either firefox 2.0.x or Gran Paradiso (firefox-3.0alpha) as my browser, I just assumed it was a problem with that.

My hardware is a dual processor Xeon 2.0 ghz, 3gb RAM machine that is my main workstation. I will actually take a look at my memory and see if I can see anything weird the next time it happens.
