This is actually amazing -- I started noticing this bug myself after a distribution update. It's an issue in libgnomecanvas (downgrading to old versions of libgnomecanvas fixes the bug). I've reported it at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=596322 a few days ago (no response yet).
Note that the slowdown only occurs if the vertical scrollbar is in its topmost position (if you scroll just a little bit down the page it won't happen anymore, at least on my system), and gets worse as you draw closer to the bottom-right corner of the window.
