Well, it was going along very slowly and I was looking at the resource  
monitor and it was all green.  So I figured I would shut down some  
programs to see which was the problem. Closed every visible window and it  
didn'affect the monitor even a little. So I typed in 'top' and there was a  
program callled nspluginviewer using 8 around 90% of the cpu (opera was  
also still running). I found the offending program. I killed it and the  
resource monitor went black with disuse. So what is this program. My  
survey of google implies that it has to do with flash. Is this so? If this  
is so would anyone have Any idea how to make this program behave? I am  
thinking this program is for opera becaus konqueror is acting nicely.  
Nooooooo....... The slowness got me searching for alternatives to KDE.

Hmm.... yep.... it has to do with Flash.... I started an IM and  
nspluginviewer poped up..... but everything remained nice. I guess that  
sometimes it goes beserk and a simple reboot won't fix it. That doesn't  
sound right!
