I have only noticed this on Mac OS X, here are the specs of my MBP:

1.16 GHz Intel Core Duo
2 GB 667 MHz RAM
OS X 10.6.5

Session restore, new tab, close tab all cause most tabs to fade out, then 2 - 3 seconds later the tabs fade in. The tab strip is just a gray strip during the fade out.

this seems like it is similar to bug 593680, but that bug had an emphasis on Linux

Does disabling h/w acceleration help?
