Apologies, this *does* in fact seem to be radeon KMS related, I was using nomodeset as the kernel parameter when in fact this seems to do nothing now. After doing 'radeon.modeset=0 vga=771' I am now seeing good performance in both browsers. If anyone wants me to refile this bug under xorg-video-radeon, please let me know...
