I was wondering why my laptop cpu heats up so much

to highest working speed) when:
I'm only reading a text page in the browser that has no
advertising or flash on the page.
then I found this blurb searching around for an answer:
Software is the primary factor which determines CPU and GPU usage, since
software essentially controls these hardware devices. As such, using
software which constantly loads the CPU will cause any computer to heat
up more then it would at idle.
So the only software I launched when this happens is seamonkey, even
when I set it to offline as I'm reading a page.
I'm wondering if there is any "spin code" in seamonkey.
I'm replying to my own post, update:
I don't think it's seamonkey causing the increased cpu usage.
if I launch seamonkey without an internet connection then this
doesn't happen. Seems to be the wifi doing it even when I have
no software open and the computer not running anything. If I
disconnect from the internet then the computer cools down and the
cpu fan shuts off.
So seamonkey is okay in this regard to: over use of cpu and heating up.
I too see this if my "home" page has video or .GIF files endlessly repeating.
