I had the same problem. It was solved by setting Firefox to run as
localapps on the thin client instaed of on the LTSP server :

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTSPLocalAppSetup

It makes a night and day difference with the same amount of RAM on the LTSP
server : no more slowdowns and freezes when not running localapps. My
config is 4 GB RAM, with a Quad-Core, running a network of 12-14 thin
clients (512 Mb RAM).
