firefox very slow and high cpu usage!! (all other browse slow too)

Sorry, I asked it in 'Newbie Corner' , but still no resolved. so I asked here.

Hi all,
        when i open a website just as www.sohu.com,   my firefox (3.0.3) hang on, then display the web page very slow , and slow scroll , firefox cpu usage nearly about 100.
        I tried some sloution,like modify /etc/enviroment to set MOD_DISABLE_PANGO=1,
or disable 'tell me if a web site ...' in firefox security option.
but still slow.

some people says it's must because flash or some js.
but when  i try it in windows or ubuntu, it very fast, not like in archlinux.
so i think some thing wrong in archlinux.  I need your helps.
thank you.

p.s.
1.  pacman is very fast (the speed of wget about 400k/s)
2.  gnome web browser like firefox , slow and high cpu.
3.  the list of output of 'locale'  about 11 lines.
4.  i have already set host name like wiki says.
5.   the system is  a new system

That is because of flash. I am having same problems, no matter which browser I use (flock, opera, midori...).
On windows everything works normal.
