Firefox mostly consumes lot's of CPU time while displaying a page. My 
powerbook, which has a 400MHz Powerpc Processor is nearly lamed for 5-7 
seconds at each page load. My i386-maschine, which got a 2,2 Ghz 
Processor only needs about 2 secs. And the memory leak of firefox is 
also a bit annouing.
