This is ff 13.0.1 on x86_64 fedora 17.
Any clues? Anyone see anything similar?
50% !!!???
Huh.... consider yourself LUCKY!
On my old unicore amd64 (3.7GHz "equivalent :) :) /smirk/)
it escalates sometimes to 95% of cpu.
top tends to be confusing that way.
Note this line from my machine at a time it said FF was at 87.8%:
Cpu(s): 13.6%us, 33.7%sy, 0.0%ni, 52.5%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.2%si, 0.0%st
That was really 87.4% of the 13.6% user time that was consumed.

in <kernel source>/include/linux/taskstats.h
The comment reads:
/* cpu "virtual" running time
* Uses time intervals seen by the kernel i.e. no adjustment
* for kernel's involuntary waits due to virtualization.
* Value is cumulative, in nanoseconds, without a corresponding count

*/
Hm, please define virtualization in this context. I am running a flat
SL6.2 system with no virtual machine in the box at all.
Note that you get 100% if you add up all the values on that line.
There is no way you can get 87.4% cpu usage out of those numbers
without claiming some of the idle time is used by firefox without
attribution.
