Bug Description

Opening the page and leaving it open for a while causes the browser to slow the system.

The CPU usage and memory usage go right up and the system becomes less responsive.
This is most noticeable after leaving it open over night. (I'm not sure how many hours is minimally required.)

I have run valgrind and the usually suspect of memory leaks are possible.

There is flash on this page.
