This seems to be an ongoing Mozilla / gecko bug. Suggest you check out
Mozilla's bugzilla for related bugs.

Try tabbed browsing. "Open windows in tabs" and "Insert new tab after
current tab". Even over a slow dialup link, I can browse a page, open
links, and they'll be (usually) loaded by the time I go to look at them.
All without disturbing my current window. Galeon rocks!

Nope. Might check the galeon-user list.

Haven't seen that. Might try running strace on Galeon and filing a bug
report.
Peace.
