with a brand new firefox (i.e. virgin profile) on youtube.com; if I
scroll really quickly, I get up to 106 % CPU usage by Xorg (with 0.9 %
MEM).
As I said earlier, this problem seems to happen with some other apps
too, e.g. the system monitor.

I just tried, using the plug-in menu. This has no influence, and it
looks logical as the slowness problem is already encountered on the
welcome page, which does not really contain flash stuff (these are
just thumbnails)!

Yes. However, I think my problem is related to something other than
Firefox. What about the System monitor problem that I explained
before?
Thanks again.
