Furbism is a contributor to mozillazine.org forums where (s)he explains the build switches (s)he uses. Henrik, rite now my Shiretoko (fifefox :P ) is eating 9% CPU average.

So the optimized builds fix that problem? I use official nightly builds of Firefox 3.1 to run regression tests all over the day. Having my own or optimized builds can lead to wrong results.

I got mine fron <a href="http://firefoxmac.furbism.com/" rel="nofollow">Furbism</a> I'm using 20090103054745 build I came here just to comment that (2 cores, 1 at 100%)

Henrik, why don’t U try an Intel optimized Firefox?

I got mine fron Furbism

I’m using 20090103054745 build

Most CPU monitoring tools behave this way in my experience and despite what people claim, Firefox does use multiple threads quite a bit. Yes it is almost certainly that it is using multiple cores.

I'm thankful that most machines nowadays are multicore and I have enough horsepower to kill the process and restart.

Hence, your Firefox goes to 11... hundred... percent. Or something. You have multiple cores and Firefox uses multiple threads.

But could the use of different processes be the cause while Firefox uses multiple threads? If you download a cpu stress test tool like CPUTest you will never see more then 100% cpu load.

100% Would mean 1 CPU is fully used and 123.4 per cent would mean that more than 1 CPU is used (each used for 61.7% on average)…
