Hi, if shutting down your browser doesn't change anything, you are probably hit by the xorg transition. Newer xorg doesn't play nice with some video drivers (read closed source). I had to downgrade xorg to get a usable system again... Try to launch glxgears (from package mesa-utils), if it slows down to only a few fps from time to time without any huge resources usage peak from any other process, then this is probably the problem.
