Thanks for your answer.
I'm testing your first solution.
Take note, I'm now under lenny/sid (even if the problem is still there)
and I have today a lot of updates to do (700 MB of updating).
I will inform you when I will have done the updates and when I will wait
for few days to see if Icewasel still slows down the computer even if I
find that the computer slows down less than before but I believe that
there are other softwares that slow down the computer (like liferea,
icedove..) and I'm going to look for a solution for these softwares or
I'm going to try the suggested solution (the first)
