I believe that this problem is actually caused by placing increasing numbers of bookmarked URL's in the bookmarks toolbar folder.  This has been true of all previous versions as I have experienced this problem.  It is easy to duplicate the problem.  After a certain number of links, dropping URL links into the bookmarks toolbar folder causes a memory leak and the CPU utilization jumps to somewhere over 95%.   Removing the bookmarks from this folder causes this behavior to disappear.   Currently I am using 1.5.0.3 and this behavior still exists.  Basically, the bookmarks toolbar folder must be small or memory leaks/CPU utilization problems will appear.
