Has anyone else noticed that browsing performance has dropped off a cliff with PR1.2? For some web pages at least.

Go to http://news.bbc.co.uk/ and click on one of the links at the top right, under the heading "other top stories".

As & after the page is loading, scroll around a bit.

My cpu is pegged. It feels like the whole system is swapping madly (it isn't, but it feels like it). Task switching is unresponsive or crawls. Xorg is taking 70-75% CPU, browserd is taking 20% or so. Disabling Javascript doesn't help.

This is a fresh flash of both FIASCO and eMMC for PR1.2.

I wonder if this is related to antialiasing or kerning as everything chills out a bit if I zoom in slightly.
