I have a website, http://www.pineapplemedia.org/. i wanted to show it to my dad and has a PC with ubuntu 10.04 on it. When i showed my website to him in Firefox 3.6, his computer got realy realy slow, not only with loading the background image, but also with the rest (for example: Starting up another programm). But when i showed my website on google chrome (also on his ubuntu PC) it loaded realy fast.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Firefox in Ubuntu 10.04
2. Go to http://www.pineapplemedia.org/
3. Then you see that the background image loads realy slow
Actual Results:  
The background image loaded realy slow, and the computer itself got realy slow too.

Expected Results:  
Load the background fast, and save the background in his cash.

It was just the new firefox 3.6. No themes, no add-ons, ...

The indicated site seems to be loading normally for me with the same browser installed.

Please try issue with latest beta also: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html
