[Bug 435990] Re: fox fatigue: getting progessively slower until unusable

[Zoubidoo]

@drew: running a trace for lengthy periods is simply not practical for
me.

Here is an update:

Firefox has been running for 1 week and it has been getting
progressively slower.  I have closed all tabs so that I have only one
window open.  This window has only one tab and there is nothing rendered
in that tab (it's blank).

*** Firefox is *continuously* using 28% of the CPU (Intel
T6670 at 2.20GHz). ***

So what is firefox doing?  If you don't know, it's time you guys added
some instrumentation.  What's the point of having new features if it
runs like a dinosaur and we all migrate to Chrome?

Platform: firefox 3.6.12, but this has happened with all versions since
at least 3.5.3.  Extensions as above.
