Me too! There's a bunch of bug reports about this focussing on FF3 and other apps being slow, but it looks to me like a gfx driver (I'm no expert - it's just that I experienced identical issues with a bad ati driver before).

Spec: Dell M4300, 9500 intel (2.6Ghz), 4GB ram, nVidia 360M (256mb gfx ram). Thank god for my fast CPU or the system would be unusable. Comparing it to my old laptop - which is about 10x slower - I'd say the performance hit is between 10 and 20x :-| Although removing desktop effects does help, I still have the issue even when running gtk/metacity so that rules out compiz/emerald imho.
