   Well guys, I tried every single option I could think of, such as the following:   
      
   1) no RWS   
   2) no hrdwr speedup   
   3) "PSD=OS2APIC.PSD /P=4 /APIC" (normal mode) replaced with "PSD=OS2APIC.PSD    
   /P=4 /PIC"   
   4) Firefox started with 'safemode' (all add-ons and personalization shut-off)   
   5) this version (4.0.2b) appears to be better behaved, but once 3-4 windows   
   are    
   started up (about 2-3 tabs each) the 4 CPU cores start getting maxed out....   
      
   I really am empty handed at this point in time, although I can tell that the    
   Firefox configuration did not change (other then 4.0-pre to 4.0.1 & 4.0.2) and    
   that the issue only appeared once multi-core system was activated.   
      
   If anyone has any suggestions I can pursue by all means let me know please!   
      
   Thanks!
