another data point - here the dilbert site loads very slowly in a
firefox with about 15 tabs open already (lots of graphics it seems)
but other sites opened after it in separate tabs load normally.
The delay is most likely caused by the DNS requests for all the different
advert sites. My guess is that Firefox handles the DNS requests in order,
using the same execution context for all tabs, waiting for each one before
proceeding to the next. Requesting an AAAA record that does not exist (or
trying to connect to the first four bytes of an IPv6-address) might very
well cause an additional slowdown.
