    <thetext>suboptimal scrolling performance in gmail (firefox3 is much faster)

firefox3 scrolling performance degrades to match webkit levels when a chat window is showing.  the chat window in gmail is rendered using a fixed position element, so it would appear that firefox3 is discovering that it should not optimize the scrolling due to the presence of a fixed position element.

webkit would suffer from bug 5909 on gmail (when a chat window is exposed) except for the fact that the frame being scrolled has a transparent background.  the parent to the frame has a solid white background, so the net result is a white background.  i suspect that firefox3 notices this and then determines that it is safe to do optimized scrolling.  webkit should do the same.  i still need to confirm this theory ;-)</thetext>
