Binary package hint: firefox
This problem always happens on my Ubuntu 6.10. Everytime I open Digg.com, Firefox slows down very much.
Switching tabs or opening any menus takes very long until the browser finishes loading a Digg's page.
I'm really amazed becuase I have a quite good computer (P4 2.4 GHz, ~700 MB of RAM memory, GeForce Ti 4200 card) and such situation doesn't happen on my Windows XP.
Anyway, I see that Firefox on Ubuntu is slower than on other operating systems and it is slower than other browsers. I experience flashing tabs when redrawing, less responsiveness and interface rendering problems but problems with site rendering like this with Digg is much more irritating.

Potential Workaround (verified to help for some):
Use
Option "XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps"
in your xorg.conf device section
