What would make F16xfce slower than cold molasses, on a machine
where F14gnome kept up normal speed? Firefox is not running, nor is Opera.

I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.

Is the machine just slow or is it busy? How about checking with 'top'?

Good point. I don't yet have my nice little monitoring app on the
bottom panel, or I'd've glanced at that. Here's what I see.

I don't know what that gtk-gnash is. I don't have any moving
images moving anywhere.

It's the Free, Open Source Software re-implementation of Adobe's flash player.
https://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/
I've also seen Gnash chew up CPU on my computers. I usually uninstall
it and just use Adobe's flash player for Linux, but I'm also normally
on 32-bit Linux, where Adobe's Linux plugin is more stable and
better-maintained. I've tried the 64-bit one, but only briefly.
Adobe's support for the 64-bit plugin on Linux has historically been
spotty, particularly with security updates.
If you're interested in improving the Gnash software and helping the
Gnash project, you could try to narrow down precisely what websites
you visited that triggered the bug, and then file a bug.

The comment on Adobe flash is old news. The updates for the 64 bit
plugin has been slow, but it has been more stable than the 32 bit
version (no nspluginwrapper hence no npviewer.bin). Starting this
year, Adobe even provides a yum repo for the 64 bit plugin.
