Running the above URL, which animates a <div> by moving it around the page, 
noticeably hurts performance in other applications -- typing is slow, loaing mail 
is slow etc.

The timeout interval is so small on this test case it animating as fast as
possible, spending all of it's time manipulating the DOM and rendering.

I think its a case of the timer callbacks having too high of a priority. We need
to let other events be processed while letting the timer callbacks fall behind.

The animated images in test 10 have the same effect; even scrolling that page is 
hard because animation seems to be taking priority over user events.

Mozilla CFM build is dead.
