I also have some problems with firefox slowing down. It seems like
whenever the boinc-client starts running firefox gets really slow.

A forum that used to take 1-2s to change pages in now takes 10-30s. And
I don't think it's network related since it can take over 20s from when
I click a link until just the transparent box appears around the link
and the mouse pointer changes from normal- to busy-pointer.

output from top:
  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND            
18785 boinc     34  19 37488  15m 2796 S 67.8  1.0   4:56.10 einstein_S5R1_4    
 5825 gathers   25   0  404m 190m  25m R 20.9 12.5  46:19.79 firefox-bin        

I'm not sure, but I have a feeling it might have started the last time 
flashplugin-nonfree upgraded. (via backports)
I'll experiment with removing flash later and post again if it changed anything.
