I got a 1.6 GHz Intel Dothan and 1 GB RAM and Firefox also take 100%
when starting up. Showing flash and heavy java (i think) pages also
gives a heavy load. It helped a bit to go back to default theme, but
only a bit.

I'm stuck with Firefox, cause it has a extension that let you
synchronize your bookmarks with a WebDav webserver. And since I'm
using more then one computer, it's the only system i found that can
for fill my needs,
