I should note that when I wrote the above, the 'firefox' I was using
had been built on a different, much faster machine and installed on
the problem host using the resulting binary package.

I have since rebuilt 'firefox' with the machine on which it was having
problems and it seems to have stabilized.  Either that or I've
subconciously changed my operating habits to mitigate the problem.
