Have you instead tried killing the kdeinit process?  I say that because
I don't know if this is a galeon problem or a KDE problem.  I ask
because I switched from KDE to Xfce as my desktop yet I was hooked on
Kppp as my dialup utility, so that's what I use and that's why I have
some kdeinit apps still active.  After certain processes (say, yum
update) I see kdeinit-kded chewing up to 90% of my CPU resources.  I
kill that one app (ie, kded) and everything returns to normal.  Of
course, you'll see other things bump up galeon's CPU use - typically
flash adverts on open webpages and the like.

Not an answer, but maybe a clue ;-)
