It isn't just tab closings that are the problem. Loading a page freezes the
program (all tabs) for up to one minute(!) until the load and rendering are
complete.
Actually, I just uninstalled three plugins and everything seems to be
dramatically faster. I may have been right in my initial guess.
As for alternative browsers, I rather like Galeon and Konqueror, but I'd
miss the plugins. Adblock in particular makes many sites bearable.
