Can I just voice what seems to me to be the most screamingly obvious
theory?

Everyone seeing the flickering is using a real StrongARM RiscPC or
similar. Everyone not seeing the flickering is using an Iyonix or
better, or StrongARM VRPC (which has an option to go much faster than a
real StrongARM).

Therefore, the hourglass problem is caused by your processor not being
fast enough to process whatever it is that page is doing.

(PS: I don't see it on this Iyonix either.)
