I've noticed that when I load www.foxnews.com on any computer that I have access to, my "cpu usage" will fluctuate between 4 and 100 percent.(Windows Task Manager / Performance Tab) Most pages will spike when you load the page but will return to 0 or 1 percent when it is loaded. My real problem is with a Dell Inspiron 8100 Laptop. If I load foxnews for a while, the fan will start turning on and off and my screen will keep blanking for a half second or so every 5 or ten seconds. Quite annoying when you are trying to get some work done.

foxnews , depending on the luck of the draw when you hit it, has some pretty intense flash banner ads on it, most likely it's those that are slowing your computer down
