Or try to remove nspluginwrapper or not use the flash plugin, which
seems to be the reason for a lot of performance problems as well. It
is also the flash plugin (maybe in combination with nspluginwrapper)
that was the reason for the youtube image, you could have removed it
by killing npviewer.bin
good point, i'll look at that. in any event, something has to go --
i'm getting thoroughly tired of firefox and its friends crippling my
system on a regular basis.
