Facebook would be a good example of this. In IE, rendering time allows the full page with images to be loaded before displaying it. I used to have up to 70% of my CPU eaten by IE7 trying to display the page (just to resituate, this was on an Eee PC 701). Chrome on the other hand displays the page much faster, and images are still loading after the page render. CPU utilization was also lower, hovering around 20%.
I did not time both browsers and I don't have my Eee anymore. But I think it is (or was) a good example of a Javascript heavy website.
Gmail is also a good example of a Javascript-loaded website.
