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 That and jes old specs fer a 2002 Vaio that was originally made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.

nb

With only .5 GB of RAM, no wonder. Terry has 8GB of RAM and with that
CPU and memory, the browser load on the CPU should be negligible.

No , I have 3 Gb of RAM on this machine .
