useful.

> You can see that during this simple scrolling test, my CPU goes to 100% and

>
> I think this is quite a bad problem from the user point of view, especially

> Gmail and other sites are the expception, too bad.

> Here you can find my measurements. As you can see, about 50% of CPU time is
