Re: Firefox just pegged my CPU at 100%...

I will go you one better than that. Running Lightwave on my computer seems to have allowed it to defy certain laws of physics. See the image below. I am running a Dual 3.00GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon Macintosh Pro (ie. four processors). With all four processors maxed out, I should be running at 400% CPU utilization (4 processors running at 100% utilization). But this software is SOOOO amazingly cool that I can actually get an extra 8% out of each processor! Apparently, the software included a little known "wormhole feature" that allows the computer to suck extra unused cycles away from other dimensions and transport them here for my use. I knew this new computer was good, but this is a level of service that I never expected!
