Package: iceweasel
Version: 2.0.0.9-1
Severity: normal

A page like

http://people.debian.org/~madduck/talks/verteilte-zusammenarbeit_openexpo_2006.09.20/slides.s5.html

which uses S5/JavaScript/CSS to render a presentation makes IW crawl
and take the entire system with it: X will become mostly unusable
for extended periods of time: even though the mouse moves fine, it
appears as if the window manager gets little to no CPU slices as
window focus doesn't move and workspace switches take minutes!

I've observed similar behaviour when JavaScript was in use which
shades the page to display a DOM "dialog box" (cf.
http://blog.madduck.net/geek/2007.07.24_iceweasel-firefox-brings-you-the-windows-experience).

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=387196 may be related,
according to James Andrewart.

Filing this bug to keep track of it in Debian.
