I find this Linux nightly unusable, as it causes X to use up to 90 % of the CPU just by redrawing the window. Luckily it seems that next day’s Linux nightly doesn’t have this extreme behavior.
Still, Firefox is very CPU-intensive on my system, KDE 3.5.3 on OpenSUSE 10.1, using some 40 % CPU (Firefox 20 %, X 20 %) just when switching between loaded tabs. That makes browsing very slow.
