Ack sorry but that copy paste /typo or whatever it was that allowed me
to slaughter that url.

But yes, you appear to have gotten the right one anyway.

I had to kill that as it was resolving, even to finish this message,
it pulls the machine down to the point where other tasks are nearly
impossible.

Both firefox and Xorg soar to something like 48 and 52 respectively of
cpu/

Even after the page has finally fully loaded Xorg remains in the upper
70s.  While firefox drops down to something like 14. (cpu)

I'm running KDE and Virtual box... VB also takes a fair bit even just
idling I see 9-12 percent cpu.  and 47 memory.

This is an underpowered setup with an older Celeron P4 3.0.6Ghz and
only 2gb of ram... but still,  I don't see that kind of pull on any
other pages that I've noticed... I will add that this is a new page
for verizonwireless.  And has only been this way maybe a month or a
little less.

I've been logging on to verizonwireless periodically for a good while
and never saw this kind of pull down.  Only this new page seems to be
a heavy hitter.
