Just for amusement I've been trying to run the chromium browser
on a Pi2. Obviously, it's slow, but it looks like the cpu isn't
busy at all, mostly idle with a few percent for system processes.
 
Right now it's stuck loading a page from the New York Times
website. The Pi2 itself is responsive, but the chromium window
seems totally stuck.

How much RAM do you have?  Is it massively swapping to slow SD card?

If you're using htop, it won't show kernel threads unless you're press F2
for setup and then unselect Display options -> Hide kernel threads.
