</div>Depends on a lot of things.<br>
<br>
What video driver is in use?<br>
<br>
What arch?<br>
<br>
Is flash installed, and any applets running in any of those flash tabs<br>
you mention?<br>
<br>
Are destkop effects enabled? Which effects? (blur in particular, is<br>
known to cause degraded performance/load with many driver combinations).<br>
