Without this heuristic firefox 3 is so slow on unaccelerated drivers
any normal user will just dump his video card or Linux (page load
times measured in seconds with CPU pegged at 100% and not every user
has multicore hardware). So keeping the current default won't win you
anything except lost users. It's not bad it's catastrophic
