If you've been using the browser before hand the CPU usage remains in 
the high 90%s regardless of where the pointer is. If you quit NetSurf 
(which takes 30 seconds when that page is up) and rerun, CPU is 50-60% 
with pointer over the browser window, and negligable over the 
pinboard.

I suspect its memory allocator issue, the huge number of index entries 
and associated images are probably causing the heap to become 
extremely fragmented, slowing allocations down to a crawl. A further 
indication is the time it takes to close the page when all the memory 
is being freed.
