sync merely flushes the buffers waiting to be written. top is a useful command. With browsers running on slow machines, you want to look out for those cluttered webpages that keep doing things behind your back like running flash. Also look for any plugin-container processes. Similar problem. Sometimes I can tell I've left one of these web pages open by the fan starting or speeding up. top gives the game away.
