I played with that page a bit more:
I installed Adblock extention and disabled the background pictures (which are animated gifs!) and the page was fine after reload (except that images were no longer displayed).
I also noticed similar effect with simply huge background images (not animated), i.e. the following page contains 1565x5 white image in the background:
http://paulgraham.com/wealth.html
which makes ugly fast scrolling when scrolling with scroll bar (but OK with mouse scroll) and generates high load through Xorg process.
And it is perfectly scrolling when background image is disabled.
I guess it could be connected to low video card/driver performance, but it's ATI Radeon 9000M 64MB with Xorg open-source drivers, does it mean I already need a hardware upgrade?..

I see this too. Weird. Doesn't appear to have been reported upstream.
Thanks for confirming.
