[Bug 199430] [NEW] Scrolling in Firefox causes MP3 to lag

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

When I scroll little in Firefox, its okay.
But if I scroll much or fast, such as holding down the down button, or rolling the wheel up and down fast, then my MP3 in Rhythmbox starts to lag.

Example on Slashdot;
* http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/08/03/07/0023215.shtml

Hold down the "down"-key and wait, after few seconds the MP3 will start
to lag.

I have Intel Core 2 Duo 6420 @ 2.13 GHz with 4 gb RAM.
GeForce 8600GT (256 mb RAM).

~$ uname -a
Linux ubuntu 2.6.24-11-386 #1 Fri Feb 29 21:28:00 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

$ dpkg -l "*rhythmbox*" | grep ii
ii  rhythmbox                                  0.11.4-0ubuntu6               music player and organizer for GNOME

~$ dpkg -l "*firefox*" | grep ii
ii  firefox                                    3.0~b3+nobinonly-0ubuntu4     meta package for the popular mozilla web browser
ii  firefox-3.0                                3.0~b3+nobinonly-0ubuntu4     lightweight web browser based on Mozilla
ii  firefox-3.0-gnome-support                  3.0~b3+nobinonly-0ubuntu4     Support for Gnome in Mozilla Firefox
ii  firefox-gnome-support                      3.0~b3+nobinonly-0ubuntu4     meta package pointing to the latest gnome-suppor

~$ dpkg -l "*nvidia*" | grep ii
ii  nvidia-glx-new                             169.12+2.6.24.10-11.29        NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x/X.Org 'new' driver
ii  nvidia-kernel-common                       20051028+1ubuntu8             NVIDIA binary kernel module common files

Now this pisses me off that I have a dual-core at 2+ GHz and 4gb RAM and
cant listen to MP3 and scroll at the same time, its ridiculous.
