When you scroll fast on this page CPU Usage spikes upto 100%, and if you have a
slow cpu it lags bad.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Goto page
2. Scroll down fast (with mouse wheel)
3. Scroll up :)

Actual Results:  
100% cpu usage, slow scrolling.

Expected Results:  
Opposite of the above

I think it is noticed worse when you have multiple tabs open.

I'm seeing this. The slowness occurs around the point with the text:

"NEW ON DVD!!! DONT WAIT ORDER THE BEST UFO FOOTAGE TODAY!!!"

I see this slowdown when using Internet Explorer or Firefox. My machine:

Intel Mobile Celeron 900 MHz
120 MB system memory
8 MB video memory

This appears to be a simply a big page that asks for too many system resources.
This report will probably be closed unless someone can point out an actual piece
of page code that is causing a problem or an error.
