I can confirm the problem on 11.10 32-bit. I'm running gnome-session-fallback, without the overlay scrollbars.
Hardware: Acer Aspire laptop, Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU T3200 @ 2.00 GHz.
Display: Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset x86/MMX/SSE2.
I usually have 3 or 4 tabs open, with unlimited scrolling enabled. It gets slower over time, but it's still about 2 seconds to start the very first tab.
