On my system (actual FreeBSD 8-CURRENT on i386) it seems to have something to do with 'gam-server' processes (from devel/gamin). While using firefox3 on websites with many elements the cpu-time of gam-server processes increases enormously. Killing the highest process id of gam-servers speeds up firefox3 again (at least for some time). After a while the next gam-server process is growing ... I am not sure if this is an observation in the right direction.
