For a way to measure that, just picked CPU load for a process up from top(1) command per 1 second within 1 minute randomly. and average it. Please note that there aren't actually any purposes nor solutions for this topic in this article. but this would be helpful to think about how to cool my laptop down to avoid a fan error as long as possible next time. because there seems to be an exhaust heat issue here.
Here is a result:
Page | Avg. CPU load |
about:blank | 1.31% |
Gmail with Labs features | 74.3% |
Gmail without Labs features | 65.2% |
Google Reader | 2.0% |
Google Calendar | 2.8% |
Google Docs | 3.2% |
iGoogle with default content(Weather, Date & Time, YouTube and CNN.com) | 4.0% |
Well, I didn't do any operations during measuring this and may need more sampling in some cases so that it might relates to how often reloading in the background happens. to be fair, it's the fact that Gmail takes a lot of CPUs though.

What version of Firefox are you running? Are you using Gears (which enables worker threads for JS, which significantly changes how Javascript behaves)
I think the firefox version I tried to estimate was 3.0.6 and no Gears installed - my laptop is running under x86_64 and I'm lazy to build it by the hand to enable Gears feature on my laptop because no x86_64 version of Gears are available officially ;)
