Thanks everyone for their input to this thread.
To conclude, my 4-core i5 system is running sweet now, nice in the range
of 0.2-1.0! It's 18GB of RAM is no longer being overloaded.
Resolved thus:
1. migration of all data from LTS Ubuntu-MATE platform 18.04 to 20.04,
to eliminate that and any add-on program risks as the source of errant
load.
2. A balance of Chromium, Firefox and Palemoon browsers running now, for
various tasks depending on security level required.
3. Tracked down the runaway kworker/acpi interrupt fault that could be
stopped then added as a reboot chron job stop.
4. Found the last contributing Firefox blow-out to be due to this
shopify / google api website, made safe inside a Chromium tab instead:

HTH
Cheers, Rik
Mozilla Firefox has been a snappy, very reliable web browser..
Version 89 though has suddenly bogged it down, badly.
... Does anyone know how to speed it up again?
Using a good many Firefox window-frames open at once may be a
contributing factor, but it never was before.
