The website from the URL field is poorly slow on my Suse 10.2 machine (Intel Core2 Duo E6200, newest NVidia drivers).
Scrolling is lamely, and switching from e.g. one browser tab to the slow page open in another tab takes about 2 seconds until the side is displaying fine.

This does not happen with windows on the same machine (dual boot). It also happens with firefox 2.0.0.14.

Sorry for the "bad" summary, but I don't have more detail info. And unfortunately I will upgrade to Suse 11.0 in the next few days, so I don't know whether it will reproducible on the new OS. 

Reproducible: Always

Putting the following in $PROFILE_DIR/chrome/userContent.css
makes the site ugly but faster:

@-moz-document domain(tempus-vivit.net) {
  * {
    background-image:none!important;
  }
}

Same problem on OpenSuse 11.0

After installing the new OS and before installing NVidia drivers, I tested the page: scrolling was still a bit slow, but not really a problem. With NVidia drivers, the problem became much more severe.

I posted this problem in the NVidia forums, because maybe it is a driver problem: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=1701824
