 Jake and Aaron both report occasional 100% CPU usage in Tor Browser, even
 with Javascript disabled. I've seen the thing randomly use a lot of CPU,
 but it usually calms down for me after I close the offending tab..

 If we can figure out how to reproduce this, we can perhaps start by
 bisecting either our patches, or addons?
