^ the [words] version of what i meant; pretty well put. the more i read about this the less it seems like an actual issue. personally i just don't see why you would even want frames drawn any significant amount faster than the human eye can detect (aside from benchmarks for advertising) as i would think the preference would be to use the processor for more data (aka an actually faster browsing experience) in the background.

Heh, maybe the FF people are annoyed because its causing benchmarking on Mac to fail to realistically quantify the relative performance of their browser. The claim of real-world performance issues may be disingenuous and an attempt to give a more compelling reason for apple to release the API's than "we want our software to do better against yours in benchmarks."
