I also see this strange transparency for some pages since I updated my
-current (and switched from XFree86 to Xorg, along the way) a few days
ago.  The effect appeared for an "old" firefox3 binary that worked fine
before.  That binary was linked to X11R6 libraries.  Rebuilding my
packages with X11R7 libraries did not help.

Regarding speed, I notice slowness only for pages which do not display
properly.  For other pages, such http://www.netbsd.org, speed seems ok
(However, my machine is quite fast, so I might just not notice modest
slowdowns).

I have an Nvida card and use the nv driver.  Platform is i386.
