Why does Mozilla choke my Debian box?

I am running Debian on an old 800mhz box, using Mozilla 1.5 as my browser. However, whenever I use it, when it is loading a page, it immediately starts using all of the CPU cycles, choking the computer until the page is done loading. Its rather annoying. I was using Firebird which was even worse (not optimized at all for Linux). Why is it doing this? 800mhz isnt fast, but its more than enough to browse the web. Also, Konqueror works fine, using only about 35-40% of the CPU. What gives?
