Huh. Opening this webpage on Firefox floored my laptop (8 core 16GB). The lag was several seconds, including for clicking "back" or opening a new tab.

Follow-up: this only seems to be the case when the "Animated Great Red Spot" image is in view.

It opened instantly and worked smoothly in Firefox on my 8 year old android.

Yes, on my phone it's fine but on my laptop it's a nightmare.
