I have a problem with 3.0 slowing pc's when multiple tabs are open.
The 2.x versions do NOT, and I happily use that.
I've seen the same with both versions. The problem isn't multiple tabs as much as it you have a tab opened to a site that does continuous refreshes like CNN or FoxNews. It doesn't handle memory well under those circumstances. Now oddly enough I suspect the real problem is with MS Windoze. I have no problems with Firefox running on Linux but on Windoze it seems to have memory reclamation issues.
