--- Comment #6 from kevin.bowling at kev009.com ---
>From Ted Unangst:  "The Firefox issue is because gtk is brain damaged and sends
the image to the x server, then reads it back, but it gets broken up into tiny
chunks and causes a billion syscalls. You can fix it by recompiling x with
larger socket buffers."

OpenBSD did a Xenocara patch https://freedesktop.org/patch/23215/
