Yeah there's no syntax highlighting in std.algorithm but it still take
8 seconds to load the tab (firefox freezes during that time), and then
scrolling acts erratic. Using raw is ok, it's just a text file in a
browser so that doesn't cause any issues.

Hmm.. maybe one of my installed firefox plugin has gone rogue or
something. I'll see if I can recreate this issue in IE/Chrome.
