I know the Totem plugin, which tries to provide a compatibility layer
with the VLC plugin, definitely has some issues.
Firefox3b5 has been generally buggy for me as well, though - regularly
takes cpu usage to over 50% (on both cores!) on very normal pages with
some javascript ..
I formatted my machine since I had dist-upgraded and did a clean
install, and with many tabs open, as I tend to have, firefox-2 still
performs better, imo.
Algo - you can try "sudo apt-get install firefox-2" and then run
"firefox-2" from terminal - then you'll know whether its a problem
with the beta release or something else causing the slowness ...
