xp32sp3, Fx 3.6.0, NS 1.9.9.42, RP 0.5.12, new profile

I've noticed what seems to be a slower, staggered, jerky, loading of some pages (including NoScript forum), where a partially rendered, not fully themed page is first displayed and then refreshed. Here is a screencap video: http://rapidshare.com/files/343278054/ns-rp.wmv.html (playable with WMP, SMPlayer)

I've narrowed it down to a combination of NS and RP, disabling either makes the page load quicker, in an non staggered, non jerky manner.

To repro:

1) start with a new profile with NS and RP
2) go to http://www.phpbb.com/
3) do a Shift+Reload (Ctrl+F5) several times, and you will see the described effect
4) disabling NS or RP or both makes the page load normally

Giorgio (NoScript author) and another person form the NoScript forum, say that RP alone causes the problem.
