I don't run an X11 on a 7-current system.  My 6-stable does certainly
not show this, the X11 server with Firefox is up for ages.

It is also unusual that you actually see that much of a slowdown,
which means it is not a plain memory leak (in which case the leaked
pages would never be touched again, swapped out and not impact
performance too much).

Can you post the memory map?
