Nice insight Coln, thanks.

I don't use that particular plug-in but I do use several others so I'll
do some testing to discover which one causes it, and have a look at the

Bug description:
Using several applets I'm finding the Lucid i386 applet plugin with Firefox 3.6 is using 100% CPU from the time the applet starts. Even if the applet is stopped by closing the parent window the java process continues using 100% of the CPU.
