i can confirm this on both my dapper boxes. one is a p3 @ 667mhz with 128mb sd ram and an intel i810
the other is a amd athlon xp 2100+ 768mb ddr ram & the ati 9600se 128mb using the fglrx driver
it makes firefox feel like it just crashed on the p3, but survivable on the amd.
here's a test example which duplicates for me.
