I have a problem with 3.5x which does not occur in 3.0x, Opera, IE and Safari.

If you go to 

http://www.dadamo.com/typebase4/recipeform7x.pl

in 3.5, it will hang and act weird. I've narrowed it down to a scrollable box towards the bottom which contains a few hundred foods as radio buttons. it seems that 3.5 chokes on the large amount of form elements. I've tried other CSS and JS implementations and it is the same story.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Page will hang when loaded.
2. Will return after a while, sometimes when you click outside the FF window
3. Go down tyo bottom of page, try to tick radio boxes in scrollable window
4. Will hang, sometimes return. If it returns, opreviously ticked radios will disappear


Expected Results:  
Page should have loaded normally, as it does in FF 3.0x, IE and Safari
