In this Mozilla developers blog[1], he talk about pixman library being slow and being optimized at the moment. He says Linux will have to wait for the speed improvements until the X server is upgraded.

I am guessing here, but at least it could explain why Firefox is fast in Windows and not in Ubuntu, and also why Opera is fast on Linux as they use their own pixel manipulation code.
