Ok I now doubt this is a processor issue, cause I have the same one (Prescott core but a generic PIV nevertheless).

Yes it seems like a bug to me. Also instead of firefox people can give a try to opera n then post.

na it even happens in windows,it prolly cos JRE takes some time to load and execute.and it isn't even hanging,it just freezing for a couple of seconds.

^ofcorz firefox+java sometimes hangs(Im using firefox3beta3).
I am not at all experiencing so called hangs !
My configuration:

P4 2.8 prescott(HT),384MB RAM,Nvidia 7300GT pci-e,gigabyte 915-GV based board,160+80GB hdd's .

Are u ppl saying Gnome lock up even in a clean Desktop?I think either some cron schedule will be running like updatedb or if beagled(too resource hungrY) runs in background this can happen.

@qwerty:I think you should start a thread in *ubuntuforums.org

another option is are u ppl using 2.6.22-386 kernel?I am on Ubuntu on this kernel.may be try changing from kernel-generic to -386 kernel

True, Flash/Java tend to do this. I've experienced this in windows too.

I think either some cron schedule will be running like updatedb or if beagled(too resource hungrY) runs in background this can happen.

Goto System > Prefs > Sessions > Uncheck Tracker and any instance of updatedb or beagle.

All the 386 kernels are not obsoleted. So its either generic or custom compiled kernel.
