Debugging X server's CPU burning

Hey guys,

We have a web page on our intranet - it's an employee photo gallery.
The page isn't terribly complicated and loads in Mozilla in a second
or two.

While the page is open, the X server burns 100% of CPU even if no
scrolling is happening.  If I had to guess, there may be something
rendering on the page.  I noticed this when a co-worker commented that
it behaves normally with Mozilla on Windows.

I'm not really familiar with debugging X applications - how would you
guys suggest I start tracking down what the bad behavior here is?

Thanks!
