if it's X, it's probably the display, but since I seem to have the
same one, I doubt that.  OTOH, from time to time I've seen Firefox run
away with resources and had to close it.  After a few seconds
everything returns to normal.

Marc mentioned desktop effects - I do have them turned off. Jpbfree
mentioned powertop - although I haven't used it myself I've read some
excellent reviews - it's probably a good idea to try that.

FWIW, when my system is at rest gkrellm displays the temperature as
39'C.  Currently indexing is running ( the first update of the day)
and it is now 49'C.
