from emacs -Q:

M-x eww RET fsf.org RET

CPU -> 100% and memory usage increases rapidly.

Looking at strace there is a massive stream of brk periodically
interspersed with:

03:47:03.331275 poll([{fd=6, events=POLLIN|POLLOUT}], 1, 4294967295) = 1 ([{fd=6, revents=POLLOUT}])

03:47:03.331374 recvmsg(6, 0x7ffed82aa0f0, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)

03:47:03.988921 faccessat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/emacs/25.1.50/etc/images/show.xpm", R_OK) = 0

In the message buffer, a process filter error message:

 This Emacs mishandles this image file type

I seem to remember this message being added wrt cairo bugs. Could be
mistaken though.

I'm unable to reproduce this in non-Cairo builds...

So it's inflooping in the Cairo image handler or something?

Can't repro with the current emacs-26 (and Cairo). The web page renders 
okay. Probably fixed in the meantime.
