I'm not able to reproduce this.  I saw no lags scrolling this bug's
page in Firefox 3 RC 1 on OS X 10.5.2 (on a recent MacPro).

That's funny, as I am still having the issue. I am using a Macbook 2.2Ghz with the release candidate one as well. I doubt the issue is anything other then Firefox related as I am able to browse the site on Safari flawlessly.

I don't disbelieve you.  But nothing can be done about this until some
developer (like me) can reproduce it.

Later I'll test again on an old MacBook Pro.

I've now tested on my early model MacBook Pro (2 GHz Intel Core Duo),
in both OS X 10.5.2 and 10.4.11.  I didn't see any lags.

So I'm going to mark this WORKSFORME.  It may be that I'm missing
crucial information, or that the effect is very subtle.  But in either
case I don't (currently) have anything to work with.

Please reopen if/when you find precise, detailed steps to reproduce a
_very_ noticeable bad effect.

I can reproduce it - it's caused by about 13 flash objects.
When the page has loaded, every navigation button and every headline is replaced by a flash box. In Safari, this doesn't happen, but I haven't been able to find out why - the script doing it (mikr.js) is executed in Safari, too.
