I've also experienced this when scrolling pages on
http://www.worldchanging.com which doesn't seem like it would involve
any JS.  Scrolling it a page at a time, or dragging the scrollbar
quickly, seems to keep the X server busy for about half a second.  This
is long-enough that a page-down key can auto-repeat!  Eric Wong's
suggestion to use EXA fixes the problem for me on an "ATI Technologies
Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10]".

I haven't tried using XAA and Firefox/Iceweasel 2.0, but could do if
necessary.  In any case this seems more like an X server (or driver)
bug, even if the browser is particularly prone to provoking it.
