I don't think the problem is that netscape grabs all 100% of CPU time. It
should not stop or even much slow down interactive programs (because Linux
has pre-emptive multitasking).
Instead netscape probably sends so fast X messages to the X server that it
halts, not Linux, but X-server. I think the correct solution (besides
fixing netscape) would be to fix X-server.
