Browser as resource hog
You use it all the time, and it burns through lots of resources. Your web browser.
As I write this entry, I have one browser window open. I'm also downloading a file. Alongside that, I'm converting some digital video files to MPEG.
Firefox is burning through about 1/3 as much CPU as ffmpeg! While I use it to enter some text in a form, and download a single MP3 file. In the last half hour or so, Firefox has burned through about 8 minutes of CPU time, 4x what Xorg uses.
