Are you sure you tested Firefox/Ubuntu 10?  I see VMWare in that process 
listing, and the widgets look like OS X.  While Mr. NoOp doesn't 
understand the word "pegging", his CPU usage is spot on to what I 
experienced with Chromium.  Firefox even went so far as to have jolty 
animation and did peg a core.  I have gobs of RAM, a 2.2 GHz dual core 
CPU, and nothing else running at the moment, so I suspect it's you who 
has an optimized setup, or something else non-standard.
