</div>Yeah, I forgot. Iceweasel is very prone to this. On my latest sidux<br>
install on a laptop (athlon variety), Iceweasel was eating the entire<br>
machine. Not an uncommon behavior. After switching to Swiftfox with<br>
all the same plugins (no extensions), the behavior went away.<br>

Of course, I should have tried that as soon as I saw xorg eating cpu's, but was disgruntled and went ahead and did a ubuntu install on another partition, which prompts to install fglrx proprietary drivers, which function well. Must have been a problem during my install of fglrx on debian sid, or a problem during upgrading. Arghh.....<br>
