Paul,

I see this on 3 different machines running NT, Win2k, and XP. I've updated them all
with the latet windowsupdate.microsoft.com stuff.

What do my flashes do? Go to various news sites that have flash ads and open many
pages. I'm confident that you can peg your CPU with 5 minutes effort.

I find Australian news sites worse than American ones on average. The NY Times didn't
use to be that bad but they appear to run more Flash ads.
