What Mac OS X version and browser application (with version) do you use? How much RAM is installed and how much free HDD capacity do you have?
You can also have a look at Activity Monitor ( Applications / Utilities / ) and select All Processes and sort by CPU to see what the culprit may be.
image below uses sorting by CPU as an example
version - 10.6.4
ram - 2gb
102.73gb free hd space

Does it happen on every* web page with every browser and what browser are you using again? Have you tried to reset the browser you use? Has looking at Activity Monitor brought any clues? How long do those pauses take?
* or only with pages including Flash objects
im using safari on its latest version. Yes it also happens with firefox. Yes i tried to reset the browsers. I dont understand what i should be looking for in activity montor. The pause takes like 8 seconds
Look for CPU activity during or after or short before the pause if possible.
And does it happen on every webpage, even simple ones with only text?
