The long lag is really a filesystem bug. Newer filesystems have fixed the problem. Firefox shouldn't lag on ext4, xfs or btrfs.

the really long lag was a combination of an Ext3 bug and the fact that the browser was trying to get ACID protection of the file.

I still don't think that's appropriate.
