The OP showed firefox with 86% cpu use.  My initial post clearly describes '100%
cpu' use.  The bug comments talk about 'hanging', slow response and lags, and
pegging the cpu - all symptoms of high load.  For example, Aleksey Nogin writes
in his bug report:  "When Firefox freezes, CPU utilization goes to 100%, memory
utilization seems OK. "

So other bug reporters understand the problem is with cpu use, or perhaps they
are all spontaneously using "misleading phrases".

I don't think it's productive for me to respond any furthur to this thread.
