[Bug 185469] Re: high cpu load because of JavaScript

Sorry, but as the nv driver man page states, EXA is only supported for
G80 (Geforce 8xxx) and higher - with my card (Geforce 2), the driver
just ignores the option: "(WW) NV(0): Option "AccelMethod" is not used"

Besides, I remind that everything else than Firefox scrolling works well
- and the 500%-1000% slowdown compared to Gutsy isn't that bad either on
a faster machine, as scrolling was very snappy in Gutsy. But on a
computer like low end Pentium III (a good target for Xubuntu) the
difference begins to be really noticeable. I would also imagine that the
initial page rendering speed is affected, too.

So, for the sake of Xubuntu goals it would be nice to know whether the
problem is specific to my two systems or is more general...
