Profiles of Firefox's performance often show contention for NSS resources between the socket thread and various other threads (most commonly the certificate verification threads). In addition, while NSS makes efforts at being thread-safe, in all honesty much of it is not. To address these issues, we should only use the affected NSS resources on the socket thread (the affected resources include certificates, keys, and pkcs#11 modules).
