Yes, but 30 tabs *should* consume a lot of cpu. I'd said nothing if it
just took very long. But firefox sometimes even fails to redraw within 5
seconds *although* the cpu is idle. What prevents firefox from
redrawing? I could use a faster cpu, but this doesn't solve my problem,
as firefox sometimes refuses to use it. It's not like resources are
missing. Firefox just stops using them although it definitely has to do
the redraw. The same bahaviour could be achieved by putting sleep()
calls into the source. As I said it hangs within futex() this is
probably a locking problem.
