Hmmm.

Firefox seems to be using quite a bit of CPU. CPU usage is consistently
10-20% and there are about 100-200 more context switches per second than
when using TBB 4.0.6. vmstat output attached. FF version is 31.6.0 in
both, OS is Debian 7.8, processor is Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU B950 @
2.10GHz, system has 4GB of RAM and generally doesn't swap.

Nothing else was happening on the box at the time, and stats were
generated a few minutes after TBB had started in each case. I haven't
used earlier versions in the 4.5 series so I can't compare this to
older releases.

Please let me know what other information would be helpful.
