My wife experiences this far more than I do, even though I can't identify any reason her account should be different from mine. When she is browsing (usually Galeon, sometimes Firefox) the color bleaches out of the display, leaving everything in shades of gray. During this condition, the UI becomes unresponsive. My suspicion is that the system is thrashing pages at these times, so the screen is not correctly refreshed. This also happens within OpenOffice.org.
Possibly directly related: complex web pages just CRAWL! Her favorite site, one that demonstrates the painful experience, is <http://www.susanboylefanclubusa.com>. RSN, I plan to point out to the webmaster there that the page would be more pleasant to load if the default <index.html> just pointed out to various articles. But that is opposed to the trend in web pages, so I just sound like the dinosaur I am.
