I have about ~20 or so plug-ins installed, all running simultaneously

terms of closing down tabs, even when I have like ~30 active tabs with
mixed content (some of these with rather heavy pages). When I close a
tab, the tab just closes and the next tab is given focus with great
ease. What sort of plug-ins are you using? Are you for instance running a
lot of similar plug-ins, especially those that deal with tab preferences,
you might have conflicting plug-ins installed.

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.

Sooo, which three plugins?

As for alternative browsers, I rather like Galeon and Konqueror, but I'd
miss the plugins.  Adblock in particular makes many sites bearable.
