When using Firefox 3, the browser halts every few mins for roughly 10-15secs and then continues. I can say its not related to streaming video's, music, or Compiz. I get the same results with a fresh user with no add-ons. This only happened after a recent update. Was running fine on initial install a few weeks ago.

This is my first time filing a bug, so please forgive me if I did not provide enough info. =)

Confirmed here on Kubuntu 8.04, KDE 3.5.9. No compiz, flash, or streaming was being used at the moment of the halts.
