Max CPU When Opening Lots of Tabs

I have over 155 tabs in my bookmark. When I open all of them in Incognito mode, the CPU goes through the roof and even after an hour it never goes down! I never had this problem before.

When I open tabs 10 at a time, CPU is normal. Is there an addon that can automatically open "x" number of tabs at a time until they are all open?

@kgersen: The first one did the trick: "Open Bookmarks Slowly" by Peter Simonyi.

I tried opening all tabs without the addon and the CPU maxed out. Then I closed Firefox down and opened everything using Peter's addon and the CPU is running at a cool 9%. Thank you!
