The proximate cause is that the CachingURLCanonicalizer isn't sufficiently associative.  Alternating inline event handlers and inline script flips the decodeEntities bit back and forth, causing the cache to thrash.

A short-term fix is to make the cache more associative.  A long-term fix is to move to a new XSS detection architecture, which I've wanted to do for a while...

I'm going to try for the short term fix first.
