I tend to expand a submission, read the content, place my vote, then minimize the submission before moving on to the next one.

If you feel the same, vote it up and we'll see if /. is listening. :-)

      Mine is set to pause (leftmost icon of the icons in the upper right of the "slashdot firehose" line) and as near as I can tell it only updates when I change pages. This seems to be a permanent preference setting as well, it always loads paused for me.

Any program which runs right is obsolete.
