Ive noticed this as well in firefox.But on more than one distro and ive been noticing myself that flash seems to have a big impact on this with my system and im on a dual core.If you have a fair amount of tabs open and some of those have flash,then that could be an issue as well.Blocking flash until you click could solve that problem maybe.Thought id chime in

Cool, how do you setup flash to be blocked until you click on it.
One way of doing it is with noscript - it blocks flash as well so if you only allow flash temporarily for a site it's blocked until you allow it
You understand this a bit better once you've installed and I think it's something every browser should have
