im running KDE and theres usually 62 processes running but when I open up mozilla or something it goes to 73 processes..cpu idle is 1-2% when running, but when I launch something like a browser, it spikes to 60 percent! is this normal?

AMD64 3000+
512 RAM
Linux2.6.3.1-12mdk
 
Sure, its normal, it will go up and down as you browse too, any animation on the browser window will add to the load as well.KDE is notoriously resource hungry, eye candy costs cpu power, there's no free lunch.
