On my system (actual FreeBSD 8-CURRENT on i386) it seems to have
something to do with 'gam-server' processes (from devel/gamin).
While using firefox3 on websites with many elements the cpu-time of
gam-server processes increases enormously. Killing the highest process
id of gam-servers speeds up firefox3 again (at least for some time).
After a while the next gam-server process is growing ...
I am not sure if this is an observation in the right direction.

I installed firefox 3 from ports in the pre-release phase (via
marcusmerge) and rebuilt it as needed to keep it current with the port
after it was committed. I have since noticed that if I start firefox 3
and keep it open (whether I am using it, or I have it minimized) that it
will eventually cause Xorg to consume all available CPU. If I kill ff3
it will sometimes allow X to recover, otherwise I have to completely
exit X and restart to get it back to normal.
I have since re-installed firefox 2 in order to confirm that things work
properly with it open, and all is well, so it pretty much has to be ff3
that is the culprit.
Anyone else seeing this?
