I am seeing this on many sites, many file types. Other stories on NPR

Now that I have RealPlayer 10 installed (and the requisite
libstdc++-33), I notice that the hang occurs when retrieving the SMIL.
I do not have any real player installed, so that may be why I don't see
what your seeing.
Once the SMIL is in downloads, I can open it every time, instantly.
:) is is worth a listen ?
No not really but I thought it was a decent test case :-) I'm guessing
it could be my cheapo mobo based video (the "via", unichrome driver).
So far I have :
1) taken the SMIL file from tmp and pulled it up from localhost. Exact
same thing happens.
2) There are two rtsp::// links in the SMIL, the first being an add.
Remove it. Same thing happens.
3) Restore add, remove content. Same thing happens. Noticing that the
first time though, it's maybe 5 seconds, after that every load is 20-30
seconds of firefox spinning 99% CPU.
4) put real.npr.org in hosts file and restore content w/o addvert. Same
problem.
I think I will shove a spare video card in next to see if it's X driver
related. Tomorrow...
