As already said, this is a known bug in Safari and has nothing to do with the number of open windows. When it loads a page with animated gifs, it ups CPU usage to full blast. Many say it can make even a G5 crawl to its knees, but I have not seen it personally on a G5 to tell.
I would suggest to use Camino (a much nicer browser than Firefox I think) and install the ExtraPrefs from here. You can then tell Camino to animate the gifs once, the only workaround for now. You can also enable http pipelining. With this enabled, Camino destroys Safari in speed. Literally.
