The problem may be more difficult.

The high load - when switching between apps with Alt-Tab appears randomly.
The amount of FF bookmarks in my case is high but do not changing much. Most time I have no problems while running FF and switching to another apps - windows with Alt-Tab.
But "sometimes" happens, that high load (100% on both cores - for many seconds)  occurs and stays until I kill FF and log out->in.

If it would be caused by bookmarks - then it should happen all time -
the same way. Not just  occasionally.

Title:
  Alt-tab to Firefox sends Firefox to 100% CPU; unity-panel-service to
  80% CPU and hud-service to 20-80% CPU

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I've been seeing UI hangs after switching tabs in Firefox, and
  switching from other applications to Firefox.

  It can take 3-8 seconds to change *tab*.  During this time the CPU is
  maxed out;  typical output from 'top' during this period shows 'hud-
  service' and 'unity-panel-service' combined using about the same CPU
  as Firefox itself:

   100 10.4  26:07.73 firefox            
    53  0.6   6:14.86 hud-service        
    38  1.5   6:42.14 unity-panel-service

  I suspect that the change is causing a (an inefficient) re-index
  related to updated menu structures.  (Eg. something like the history
  menu, although I can't see what it is as don't currently have a menu
  bar).
