WFM. 2% or so.

Have you tried a new profile and/or a clean install?  This is clearly WFM for
most people.

I get similar results (90+% CPU load until I close firefox) on Linux/KDE with a 
freshly built firefox 1.0.6 or 1.0.7 and empty ~/.mozilla.

I am seeing the same thing ever since I've upgraded to Tiger using 1.0.7.  I
leave the browser open for extended periods and are seeing CPU usage in the 65%+
range.

Firefox 3 or newer.  Thanks.
