Trying it now. Thanks for the suggestion. It would not surprise me if Java was the problem.
Some people can't seem to understand that there may be two separate, possibly related problems.
Hey, so far so good. This reply is behaving as it should with no CPU probs and no fans coming on just when I reply. This is really good.
I will monitor it for a day or so and report back. Quite the fix. I am typing a bit more and my laptop is quiet as a mouse and nothing untoward happening . Going to ask Komodo to try and report back as well. If this is the fix, and it looks as if it is, perhaps our Mods will have a look at the code and see if there is an issue they can address.
thank you, you have helped where others could not.

Before exclaiming that the "real" problem has been found, one might want to look at this screenshot again
CPU usage is zero. Its mainly mem usage. I wonder what processor the OP has.

As promised I am reporting back.
If I reply to a thread with images on, everything slows to a crawl as was usual.
If I turn images off, every thing is sweet, the problem does not occur.
My question is why is it so.
That indicates to me a problem with the Java/FF/ATS relationship

I've posted a screenshot twice with the smilies on during a reply with no CPU usage. Please try putting Firefox into safe mode with images on and see if your problem is gone. If it's gone, then something else is the issue. Maybe Java needs updated. Have you checked your version of Java?
