16 I was going to post no, but then I realized I have ~36.0.1 installed. I
17 also have more plugins installed. Now that I think of it, I updated to

21 I am using Adblock Plus, DownThemAll, Ghostery, NoRedirect, NoScript,
22 RequestPolicy, WOT, and Xmarks - no issues on 36.0.1. I stared at top
23 for about a minute and didn't notice any CPU usage.
