Not my beloved Firefox

11.26

Recently while working on a remote server I’ve been experiencing a lot of performance issues. After numerous exchanges in emails with the host IT department, I found out by trial and error it’s not them it’s my beloved Firefox browser. I first noticed the change when using my virtual machine running Windows XP Pro. Now I have to say I was saddened by the event. Windows can’t be better than Mac. Sorry PC lovers, just say it ain’t so.

Then, the other day I decided to run Safari on my Mac and it ran like a dream. I’m still not exactly sure the performance lag using Firefox. Could it be a plug–in issue? I don’t know. I do know when experiencing this problem my iStat CPU goes to about 12%, and other wise around 3%. Please feel free to share if anyone has experienced this. Also, provide the million dollar question, I guess I should say the million dollar answer, what’s the culprit?
