When i select to view kernels, my cpu usage is usually displayed half red. I also have noticed(that since it started doing this) horrible performance from my CPU. Its actually so bad that i ant even run rise of nations, and most people should know thats not that much of a hardware demanding game. Im running a Pentium 4 (non HT) running at 2.4 Ghz with 768 mb of RAM. If anyone has any ideas i would greatly appreciate some help.

Perform a full system maintainance as discribed in the stickies. The kernel view should almost mirror the cpu usage. it does not seem as if your processes are excessive so hopefully a full maintanance check will speed you up again, view similar posts on techspot with similar problem.

^ Doesn't firefox also have a random memory leak issue that hasn't been fixed yet?
YOu can also clean up your temp files, cookies and other such files. I happen to use one called "internet sweeper pro", which is likely not all that common, but seems to work for me, although i am not a gamer.
Im not sure exactly where you are checking your processes, and, if you arent, you might want to run windows task mgr (ctrl-alt-delete) and see what processes are listed under cpu that might be causing the problem.
Excuse me if you are already using task mgr.
