Another reason could be a very big sessionstore.js file in your profile. I made the experience that bigger as 4MB or so can be really ugly.
Holy crap! I don't know if this is the 4M you are talking about, but I have 295M under .mozilla/firefox:
Not surprising. Most of it is used by the browser cache. If you don't like the size it's easy to change in Firefox' preferences.

Yes, especially urlclassifier3.sqlite is big. It contains known phishing sites as reported by Google. It shouldn't be the resource hog you see on your system. I miss the file size of sessionstore.js as written previously.
If it's not one of these I don't know a reason offhand :-( It's not that it's generally slower apparently but always system dependent.
This is on 11.4 x86_64 with all updates current and (I just updated..):
MozillaFirefox-theme-oxygen-1.4.92-2.1.noarch MozillaThunderbird-11.0.1-4.1.x86_64 MozillaFirefox-branding-openSUSE-5.0-17.1.x86_64 MozillaFirefox-11.0-3.1.x86_64
I've used that myself at some point and didn't see issues. So as I wrote it's pretty system dependent.
Is there anything I can try turning off in gconf of about:config that might help? What can I nuke?
There are so many reasons for the CPU usage. Have you already tried without addons (-safe-mode)? I often hear that Firefox got worse after 3.6 but I cannot reproduce it. It has many more functions and improvements (JS engine, all the HTML5 stuff (video/audio...)) but in general the latest versions are smaller (in memory) and more performant than before (even compared with 3.x). Apparently there are a few issues which need to be solved. One thing is the sessionstore.js which I ran into myself and was able to track down but there might be others which are hard to analyze w/o being able to reproduce. One more thing you could do is to try Firefox 12beta if it changes anything for you. It's available in mozilla:beta.
