70% Sheesh, that doesn't sound right.

But, it is. I often get both my CPU and RAM maxxed out by X Windows
and my browsers. 98%-100% is not unusual. This on an old P4 w/ .5G
RAM. The increased graphics resolution is responsible fer most of
it. That and jes old specs fer a 2002 Vaio that was originally made
fer XP.

Usta be this sucker was fast. Now, with increased graphics resolution
and all those client-side scripts (I've seen 40!), even with Linux,
gotta getta new box.
