i can confirm this on my edgy testbox & my dapper machine using ubuntu firefox builds & offical firefox builds including 2.0a3 & 3.0 (trunk 7-7-06).

this bug doesn't feel any better under 2.0a3, BUT under 3.0 there were actual noticable improvements AND statistical improvements (from monitoring top).

this bug does feel like the browser has died on slower hardware and ruins the browsing experience under ubuntu. (thanks mum for sending me some great test examples) http://cgi.ebay.com.au/INDIGO-MOON-BEADED-DEVORE-JACKET-BNWT-SIZE-M_W0QQitemZ110004721071QQihZ001QQcategoryZ53367QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
load the site up, and scroll down, xorg cpu usage WILL skyrocket =D and on slower hardware... firefox will feel like it died!
