My wife complained to me about www.royalshow.com.au "not working". She was quite right - it is running like a dog with firefox 15.0.1 on Xorg. A little digging shows that whenever it is being displayed on the screen Xorg saturates the CPU core it is on. Click on another browser tab and (when you can catch the poll) as soon as the focus changes Xorg's usage vanishes. There is virtually zero external traffic from the browser, but a fair bit of activity on screen.
