For some reason my MBP is running like Molasses when using Camino (and sometimes Firefox).
Recently I'm getting a lot of the rainbow pinwheel (i.e.: "I'm thinking") from my MBP...especially while using Camino (and it's loading a new page).
I booted Activity Monitor and when I'm just reading a webpage (on Camino), my CPU usage is around 27-35....but when I load a new page, I get the rainbow pinwheel and CPU usage for Camino jumps up to 99.7-107.9...the computer freezes for about 5-10 seconds while the pinwheel spins and once the page has loaded, the CPU usage goes back down to the 20's.
Interestingly enough, while I was typing out this post, I was getting the pinwheel as well (even though I'm only typing).
Anybody have any idea why this is happening?....it's not like I'm really taxing the system (i.e.: running Photoshop, Illustrator, iDVD, etc. all at the same time)....for instance, I only have Camino, Chrome and QuicKeys open right now...nothing else...this should be a walk in the park for my MBP (2.33 GHz IC2Duo, 3GB of 667 MHz Ram, and 177 GB of free space still left on my HDD).
Any suggestions?
P.S. Scrolling seems to make it chug (i.e.: pinwheel) as well.
