(1) Please reply to the list, not to me
(2) Please do not top-post

Well, it's true that the missing firmware is not for your video
hardware.  But it could still be the cause of a process consuming
excessive CPU cycles.  Unfortunately, there does not appear to be
a Debian package that contains this firmware.  I would follow the
instructions in the error messages and obtain the firmware if I were
you.  It couldn't hurt, and it might help.  This is one of the major
differences between Lenny and Squeeze: separately-loaded firmware.
