Comment (by s7r):
At the yearly cleanig of the garage found an old box which was used at the
office for accounting purposes, decided to blow the dust away and give it
a use... Found out it won't work with Tor Browser, becasue of the CPU.
Tor Browser 3.6.5 is eating 100% CPU, after few hours of either usage
either staying idle (in order to keep socksport open for other torified
applications). The configration of the computer is this. An old box,
running:
Operating system: Debian Wheezy
i386 arhitecture
CPU is AMD Athlon 2800+ @ 2.083 Ghz, 512KB cache
RAM: 1 GB
Data width: 32bit system

Continiously monitoring with htop, Tor Browser starts just fine and uses
about 18% to 22% CPU. If visiting javascript websites which require the
computer some work to do, CPU usage grows accordingly but it does not
freeze the computer and gets back to normal value when closing the
respective tab. This is for the first 2 or 3 hours.
After some time (2-3 hours) regardless if there are any tabs open or not
Tor browser starts to eat 100% CPU until you can't do anything, have to
hard reboot. The process name showing 100% in htop is called firefox (from
tor browser) and it is shown in 2 instances, one eating 68% and another
one with 21 - 25% something like this.
