Why gwt date picker is too slow

Recently i noticed, that GWT DatePicker from incubator is too slow in some firefox browsers. It was extremly slow, and when i clicked just to change a month, sometimes it took around 5 sec!!!

Amazing, it was worked fine in some others computers, and there is no difference if i'm running linux firefox or windows firefox.

After a while, i discovered, that it is a FireBug plugin for firefox. When i disabled it, DatePicker became as fast as in Iexplorer browser! So, if you have some debugging or other plugins enabled, it can slowdown the GWT code.
