What is the load avg on the system in question?  I have seen similar on
my system when the load avg starts to climb (anything > 5 is really
bad).  But, when he load avg is low, redraws should be good.

Firefox is a resource *PIG*.  Since it is one application, I'd look into
how much memory it is using (both in ram and in swap), and whether or
not any of its windows are doing anything (like displaying FLASH or
active JAVA applets).

How big are your mailboxes?  Thunderbird can also slow you down if you
have large mailboxes.

What does your performance look like after you close *every* firefox
window and thunderbird?  [make sure firefox is no longer running.]
