I think this is absurdly stupid, but what do I know?) I have experienced firefox and/or xorg apparently freezing for several seconds which seems to be due to loading a page with a large image. I can repeat by simply loading a local copy of any large (eg 2mb) jpeg image in firefox. top shows xorg using 100% cpu. This is on 10.0-RELEASE, firefox-27.0.1,1, xorg-7.7. Chris
