Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the URL mentioned above

Actual Results:  
Firefox seems to be consuming 100% CPU

Expected Results:  
Don't consume so much resources.
Confirming with Firefox 3.5 RC1 but I think the main problem here is not the (almost) 100% CPU, which might be expected since it is a long page with ~2000 comments, but the lack of application responsiveness for some seconds when the page loads : 
Trying to switch between tabs quickly during the page load is not possible several times during the page load for a second or two.

Is it an interruptible reflow problem (bug 67752)?
Forgot to mention that this bug happens (both 100% CPU, and freezes during page load) even when I use Adblock Plus to block all the flash ads on this page .
Doesn't seem so bad in the "Seamonkey" "nightly" "trunk" suite browser also running Adblock extension.

Just wanted to add that the above was to show it might be Firefox specific, as opposed to gecko related.
To have much hope of attention, need a reduced testcase from the URL per http://quality.mozilla.org/documents-home/bugs-docs/bug-triaging-guidelines/minimal-test-cases
