I've found that firefox is extremely slow changing tabs. It may take 0.5, even 1 second to go from one tab to another. To test: click on one tab, then on another. or do ctrl + tab. I'm using the latest Nvidia drivers for my GForce 8400M GS on a dell 1720.

It looks like the more text the page has, the slower (the more it has to redraw).

The same machine on FF windows in instantaneous. I suspect something is wrong.
Half a second is not much. But considering how often we do this, it gets worrying.

Anyone can reproduce? Or find an explanation?
