You know how when Firefox opens a new tab, it displays the little circle
of dots while it loads the page?
On my PC, that loads the CPU to 80%.
I think there's something wrong with my PC. Anything involving any kind
of graphics puts an absurd amount of load on the CPU. :-/

I vaguely recall that when I set the PC up, it would give me all the
video modes I wanted, but I couldn't actually find a specific driver for
it. I'm guessing that's the issue...
