There are many!! What DE/WM are you using?
I have found that Iceweasel is particularly prone to gunking my system up. It
eats up memory, and if you haven't got a lot, as I haven't by modern
standards, that equals problems.
Though I don't believe that the only way out is to unplug the machine. What
else have you tried?
