on win xp can anyone tell me why the plugin container.exe is such a big eater of resources even with all plugins disabled

When I run firefox and its connected to the net I find firefox slows down my browseing experience, I studied this by looking at the XP Task Manager and with firefox running that I use between 44 and 56% of cpu resources, the culprit is plugin container.exe but why is - it because all my plugins are disabled why plugin container active at all if the plugins are used... never had this problem with older versions of firefox... any ideas?
