It spikes the same way whenever I load a new item Google Reader. (For those unfamiliar, it's an AJAX-based RSS aggregator, so it's not just a matter of when full pages load.) Is anyone else running into this? Epiphany's plenty fast on the same Dapper system, and FF1.5 on my much slower Mac laptop doesn't run into the same kind of slowdown.

Since I don't use IE (even under Windows), however, I'm pretty much stuck with Firefox for now as the alternatives strike me as far worse.

Darn. Oh well.

On another note: My scroll wheel scrolls up and down in firefox when I
click it just once, but if I jerk it sharply up or down, it functions
as Forward/Back. Any ideas how I can get it to stop doing that?
