without Flash, it still takes about 60% CPU
without JavaScript the CPU usage goes to 1% or 2%.

I cross-posted because I don't know if this is only a user question or
if some developer should take a look at this because it's a bug.
Anyway I think that a faster JavaScript engine could help a lot
reducing the CPU usage. What do you think about?

Thanks.
