Minefield has suddenly decided to hang with a spinning pinwheel for about 5 seconds every once in a while.  There isn't any pattern that I've been able to detect in what causes this.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Use browser normally
2.  Every once in a while, the browser will hang with a spinning pinwheel for about 5-10 seconds
3.  Browser resumes normal operations
Actual Results:  
Browser randomly hangs

Expected Results:  
Browser should not hang

Not reproduced so far, at least not on windows. To exclude add-ons, have you also tested this in safe-mode?
