I'm seeing this on Chromium, Safari and other Webkit-based browsers like Midori and Epiphany, on Linux, OSX and Windows. It looks like this *doesn't* happen on FreeBSD. The problem is that sometimes the browser tab hangs, CPU shots to 100% and after a while the browser asks if it should kill the page.

This happens on a website I'm building with some friends. With other browsers everything is fine, while with Webkit-based ones sometimes the SAME page hangs. Other pages work fine. I tried narrowing down the problem:
- disabled javascript from the browser: nothing changes
- testing on a _local_ server (running the site at localhost): works everytime
- testing on a local server but going through the Internet (via a virtual server on the DSL router): problem gets back

So I *think* this is something related to the render-as-you-load system, maybe there's something that trips it when there's some lag loading the page?
I think this is also related to the number of nested divs on the page, since with simpler ones there's no problem.
