Firefox 1.0.7 takes 100% CPU [was: Re: Firefox 1.5 very high load]

[Dave M G]

	On my Pentium 3, 500Mhz, 512 MB Ram, any time I load a page in FireFox,
it consumes 100% of CPU resources and is quite slow to load pages.
	I had assumed that this was simply because my computer is rather old.
But seeing this thread made me wonder if perhaps the problem is with
FireFox.
	Is there something systematically wrong with the way FireFox 1.0.7 uses
resources? Is it a FireFox + Ubuntu issue? A FireFox + Linux issue?
Solely a FireFox issue?
