Well, here's what I have in "top" when I open http://www.vu.lt/ivykiai/ in Firefox (which is now 1.5.0.4, btw):
  PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
 5169 rq 25 0 127m 50m 17m R 71.3 13.4 9:53.58 firefox-bin

Here's what I have when I close the tab:
 5169 rq 15 0 128m 51m 18m S 0.3 13.6 10:48.83 firefox-bin

As you can see, CPU usage falls drastically (from 50-80% to 0-10%). I think the bug is unfortunately still present...
