I'm having almost similair problems with 1.0.7. When I open some pages,
for instance http://www.index.hr (Croatian news portal - and I'm
adblocking all the flash from there - I just have those scrolling text
on the right side), my CPU load goes to 70-80%. If I have two, three or
more tabs open, then the load is 100%, and I feel the slowdown of the
system. The same happens with http://www.vecernji-list.hr, for instance.
On the same machine I have booted WindowsXP, where I also installed
Firefox 1.0.7, and I don't experience that problem there.
