Huh. Opening this webpage on Firefox floored my laptop (8 core 16GB). The lag was several seconds, including for clicking "back" or opening a new tab.

Follow-up: this only seems to be the case when the "Animated Great Red Spot" image is in view.
May I ask what GPU do you have?
512MB ATI AMD Radeon Graphics
I'm afraid the only thing I can do in such case is to display a static image instead of a shader. Would you prefer that?
I was able to view it smoothly on my phone, so I'm not too fussed, but that might be a better experience for anyone else that has the same issue in future.
It opened instantly and worked smoothly in Firefox on my 8 year old android.
Yes, on my phone it's fine but on my laptop it's a nightmare.
