Wow. When I ran OS X Leopard on this 17" MacBook Pro w/4GB RAM, all the fancy pages posted on HN used to peg my cores at 100% and made the fans roar like jet engines. Now I'm running Slackware Linux (64 bit) on it, and this page is running as smooth as butter in Firefox 19.0.2. It's nice to be at the other end of the spectrum, for once. It runs almost as smoothly in Chrome, but with a little more jitter during the transitions and a bit more CPU usage. Not so nice in Opera, which is struggling to get all the pieces working and kind of ruins the experience.
