(Get the code!)
Could this be a GTK issue? I just observed that opening 'Gnome System Monitor', then chosing it's 'Resources' tab (the one showing graphs of load and memory usage) shoots X load to 50% (from 5-10%). At the same time Firefox becomes very jerky, e.g. scrolling is jerky, typing in textareas is jerky etc. Switching away from the 'Resources' tab in 'System Monitor' makes everything nice again.
I have a theory, that this could be a Cairo issue: Since the graphs in the new 'System Monitor' uses Cairo. Opera does not use Cairo and it works perfectly. It might be a driver/Cairo combination issue. I use the Nvidia 'restricted' drivers.
