processor at 100%

I have also been noticing my system getting sluggish sometimes.  I
even bought 1G RAM recently and I am still occasionally noticing a
problem.  I am beginning to wonder if there is not a memory leak in
firefox.  I can clear all the cache and restart firefox and often the
problem appears clear up.  I have also noticed problems slowing down
when I start to use gmail.  I wonder if AJAX (Javascript?) is hogging
my memory or is a memory leak?
