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.
