</div>I think I narrowed it down to whats causing it. At the advice of another<br>
poster on launchpad, I created another user account and logged into that<br>
account. I logged onto my work VPN, and then visited the site which<br>
caused the problem it runs some java app but i think it also uses flash,<br>
or at least it looks "flashy" and then noticed the cpu go up and then<br>
down again, everything seemed fine.<br>
<br>
I then added "noscript" into firefox and tried it again and the problem<br>
was reproduced. So I believe its browser based java and possibly flash.<br>
But no amount of xserver restarts seems to solve the problem. As before<br>
rebooting is quicker than trying to resolve it. I really wish I knew a<br>
way of tracking the rogue process down and killing it off. Of course<br>
avoiding the site in the first place is what I do, but there is a chance<br>
I could stumble onto a site that causes the same symptoms.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Again, that matches my experience. I found that Chrome is less, shall we say, explosive, than Firefox but it seems to sit with the interface with Flash and possibly Xorg - if you close Firefox the CPU will settle down but it takes a couple of minutes, which suggests to me that it's external to the browser.</div>
