I no longer use Firefox as on certain websites, like football365 the 
processor usage is generally around 50% on a 2Ghz CPU, whereas on Opera its 
about 2%.
Its been like that for many versions of firefox, and if you follow certain 
links on their site it'll leap to 100% and stay there. That'll make it feel 
sluggish to use ;)
