Would an SSD Effect this?

Basically, I have a absolute ton of addons on firefox including smooth scrolling.
When I scroll down on a large web page, I get a sort of lag or jitter, especially if I have loads of tabs open.
I don't think my memory usage is getting that high but for some reason it lags, I am thinking that because it is loading the temp files on the hard drive it is slowing it down.
If I am correct, obviously this would stop this problem but if I am not, it might be other problems be it other extensions or slow memory.
Currently I am using a slow mechanical hard drive, so I guess that this is the root of the problem.
I love smooth scrolling and I could not give it up, but the constant tab closing just to get it working is rather annoying. I would love to know what is causing this problem, Cheers :)
 
i had similar, turned out it was my graphics drivers, worth a check?
Well I am on the latest drivers and I have not had any problems with these but it seems weird that it only happens when I have loads of tabs open.
If it was a driver problem I would expect it to happen no matter how many tabs are open.
