I have the same problem. (with Sidux (Debian Sid Distro), my graphics card is an Intel X3100 (Intel GM965) using xserver-xorg-intel and mesa)

Xorg cpu usage skyrockets while firefox is rendering a page, or while entering text in the addressbar for example.
Maybe this is a gtk problem not a firefox problem at all, also I downgraded to an earlier Version of gtk (and libgtk*). Other gtk programs seem to increase xorg cpuload too, but firefox is worst by far.

Changing the AccelMethod to eaa or exa didn't work, neither did disabling pango
