Over the past few weeks or so I'd noticed that my cpu usage was abnormally high, mostly when using firefox. I'd noticed that my cpu would hit 99% when loading most any website, and depending on how many tabs i had open, i'd idle at 40%+, sometimes as much as 60%. Makes things kinda tough. I checked process explorer, and it said that my idle cpu was mostly being taken up by interrupts (30-40% of cpu at all times basically). What does this mean? My CPU is an AMD64 3000, so I can't imagine my hardware is all of a sudden insufficient. Is this a firefox problem or something else? Hardware bad? Virus? I check for those regularly and seem to be clean. I can give more info about whatever if need be.
