Peter, P.S. Any chance you can stop by our #a11y meeting on Monday? We'd love to hear an update on the progress of AEGIS and if there's anything one of us could do for the program. Monday at 20:00 UTC (February 23) which I believe translates to 12 p.m. California time. -- Bryen Yunashko openS

Hi Nolan: I wonder if some sort of popup attack might be happening in Firefox and it's causing degradation in at-spi-registryd (just a guess). If you kill all firefox-related processes on your machine when the spike happens, do things end up getting back to normal? In addition, try running
