 * Hello everybuddy. I’ve been using wordpress as my blogging platform for quite
   a long time now. The problem I’m facing now is that when I click on the write
   tab from wordpress admin panel, the processor usage goes above 50% and after 
   sometime firefox shows that some unresponsive script is causing firefox to hand.
   So I stop the script in order to run firefox. This has been happening when I 
   upgraded to 2.3.3 and now to 2.5 but the problem is still persisting.

 * See if the problem occurs with all plugins disabled.
 * Also, check your processor usage when doing the same thing in a different browser.
   If it doesn’t happen there, then perhaps there’s a Firefox Extension causing 
   an issue.
 * I’ve gotten that unresponsive script message with a few different Firefox Extensions.
   Getting rid of them solved the issue.

 * It’s not Firefox. It’s not the plug-ins. I can duplicate this error on multiple
   browsers, including IE, firefox and safari. It happens after importing data from
   a different wordpress database. It never occured on the wordpress hosted version
   even after upgrading to 2.5.1.
    I have “fixed” it by deleting all uploads, posts,
   pages, comments, categories, tags and users and then importing again. Problem
   is that sometimes the import does not complete and then you have to start all
   over again. Do NOT import more than once. It will create a huge mess with duplicate
   categories, etc. I’m stuck right now using the previous database hosted by wordpress.
   com until this problem is acknowledged and solved. 2.5.2???
