When too many pictures are on a page, some of it appears grey/black or do not appear at all

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the example page :D
Actual Results:  
Look at about 50% of the page, pictures become grey

Expected Results:  
Pictures should have been loaded

I'm working on a laptop with 446MB ram
Firefox uses about 136MB of it

I'm not the only one that report this on the web site, but I don't know their exact configuration

I see this too, but only if I use the Page Down key to do the scrolling rather than dragging the scrollbar. It's fairly repeatable, and you can force a repaint by using the scrollbar.

I also checked this trunk build,
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a2pre) Gecko/20070125 Minefield/3.0a2pre
and got black blocks instead of grey.

Not sure if this is GFX or Layout.
