No not really but I thought it was a decent test case :-) I'm guessing 
it could be my cheapo mobo based video (the "via", unichrome driver).

So far I have :

1) taken the SMIL file from tmp and pulled it up from localhost. Exact 
same thing happens.

2) There are two rtsp::// links in the SMIL, the first being an add. 
Remove it. Same thing happens.

3) Restore add, remove content. Same thing happens. Noticing that the 
first time though, it's maybe 5 seconds, after that every load is 20-30 
seconds of firefox spinning 99% CPU.

4) put real.npr.org in hosts file and restore content w/o addvert. Same 
problem.

I think I will shove a spare video card in next to see if it's X driver 
related. Tomorrow...
