Running Gentoo (32 bit) as guest on a solaris machine. |

My install initially had `aurora' as browser. I removed it and |
4 |
installed firefox.bin, thinking the cpu usage would drop. |

|

It has dropped but only minimally. |

The host machine (Openindian) has 32 GB RAM. |

My vbox setup allows 3016 MB for guest (gentoo) ram. |

With firefox open but not actively browsing, ... I see from %44 |
13 |
.. to %63 cpu in a `top' display for cpu usage. When actually using |
14 |
the app, it goes to %80 plus. Even 100% |
15 |
|
16 |
Is this normal cpu usage for firefox? If so, are there any tips for |
17 |
cutting down on the cpu usage of firefox? |

Perhaps a different browser? But it has to work on banking sites. |
