sluggish iceweasel

[Stephen Powell <zlinuxman@wowway.com>]

I have been using the iceweasel web browser for years; but in the past several
weeks using an up-to-date jessie system, iceweasel has become very sluggish.
Even the simplest operations, like scrolling the screen, have become so sluggish
that iceweasel has become almost unusable.  I just tried switching to Epiphany,
not known for lightning speed, but Epiphany is quite snappy compared to iceweasel
now.  Is it just me?  Or has someone else noticed this too?  Is there relief in
sight?
