Under Linux you cannot scroll the aforementioned URL - scrolling is
extremely jerky while Firefox consumes 100% of CPU.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Visit the given URL.
Actual Results:
Terribly slow and jerky scrolling.
Expected Results:
Smooth scrolling.
This problem exists both in Firefox 3.6.13 and 4.0beta10 with clean
(new) profiles.
Opera 11 and Google Chrome 8 don't exhibit this problem.

This is the comment about that bug by AaronP, a Nvidia Linux Driver developer, maybe it helps:
" I took a look today, and it appears that Firefox is using an enormous pixmap that exceeds the GPU's maximum rendering dimensions, causing software fallbacks. While we will attempt to make it as fast as possible, performance would be greatly improved if Firefox would render using surfaces that fit within the maximum renderable dimensions."

I was unable to reproduce issue with an integrated Intel card. Can
someone having a Nvidia card confirm issue?

I can confirm this on nvidia.
I am running archlinux, firefox 3.6.13, xorg 1.9.3.901 and nvidia 260.19.36 (on both GTX460 and GT240).
I have seen this for a long time but when i tested it now again i noticed that if i set a non-default zoom level the page is quick, perhaps this can be a hint to someone fixing this annoying performance problem.

I can also confirm that changing the zoom level to a non default one
makes it much better or even go away completely.

I can confirm this problem as well, on a NVIDIA 8800GT using the 260 and
270 drivers at least, but it has existed prior to them as well, as far
as I know.
However the nouveau driver seems to handle the page just fine. Could it
not be a driver problem after all?

Yes, I'm now running NVIDIA drivers 270.26. Like NVIDIA developers said
the problem is that:
"... it appears that Firefox is using an enormous pixmap
that exceeds the GPU's maximum rendering dimensions, causing software
fallbacks."
and since they haven't yet solved it, the issue is still in effect.
However it's worth mentioning that neither Opera, nor Google Chrome has
this bug.

BTW, scrolling is *not* necessary - Firefox takes up to 2 seconds just
to switch to *any* page on bugs.launchpad.net, like this one:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/transmission/+bug/734615 -
this web page is now only three-four screens long.

@Michael the Launchpad bug,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/605567 has
already been raised and associated with this one.
Also I should make the point that I commented in LP605567 that the other
bug reports (https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/223238 & Bug
#490563 ) are not the same as this one due to bug age and narrow range
of sites affected.

This bug still exists. With every update to FireFox this issue hasn't
been addressed. It's only getting worse and worse. It seems the 2D
painting is not properly functioning. This only occurs with Nvidia
drivers. I've had to switch to another browser for the time being
because browsing the internet has become unbearable on FireFox. Please
this really needs to be looked at. Many people are affected with this
problem.
