Hmm.  That sounds bad.  

You will get no argument that Mozilla is horribly wastefull of CPU
cycles, however, you situation still sounds usually bad to me.  Mozilla
on Irix on a O2 r5k/180 with 64megs of RAM didn't take as long to switch
pages or manipulate tabs as you describe.  It did take a minute to
launch with the CPU pegged though.  We were using non debugging binary
tarball from mozilla.org (or did we get it from freeware.sgi.com...   I
forget now).
