I thought that mozilla-xft and mozilla-firebird/mozilla-browser-snapshot used different methods of rendering text in webpages, and that the latter method was less processor intensive. After reading your mail, however, I found that top(1) agreed with you. Both certainly seem to acheive anti-aliased text with the same CPU usage spike. And I suppose that it'd be hard to get that far without some XRENDER support, too. In any event, I'm sticking to epiphany-browser now, as it seems to cause fewer disk reads than mozilla-firebird.
