This is what I understood from the announcement about active content as well. No need to panic in other words.
However, I think any seller who still has active content (like me) should probably be working to remove it from listings, or else you'll keep getting those annoying warning messages from eBay. I also wouldn't be surprised if several months after the June deadline eBay gets more demanding about sellers cleaning up even the old, disabled "junk" in their listings, so we might as well do it now.
You would probably know this 'poco' -- is it especially all the active content eBay itself has placed on the site (non-eBay advertising) that's making the whole site twitchy, slow, and awkward to move around? I find it extremely frustrating to see those little circles going 'round and 'round and 'round until the Sears ads (or whatever it happens to be) finally fully load and display. On the other hand, if there's something I'm actually doing wrong, I'd love to know because it's been getting worse on eBay over the past few months. I can hardly bear to search for anything anymore as a buyer. And of course, as a seller I have to wonder how this is affecting my buyers.
By the way, I wanted to mention (for those who use Auctiva) that Auctiva seems to be on top of this issue and has stated they'll be automagically removing and replacing the scrolling galleries on listings before the eBay deadline (if those listings were generated from Auctiva).
Personally I'm waiting until Auctiva does their first sweep, then I'm going to have to remove the scrolling galleries that got carried over when I created listings on eBay from listings I originally created on Auctiva. That's what I get for trying to save some money on Auctiva fees -- more "busy-work". 
With AdBlock running:
Without AdBlock running:
I resisted installing AdBlock for the longest time because I wanted to see what ads were running on my Item Listing pages so that I could replicate a buyer's experience on my listings. Eventually, I was forced to capitulate and install AdBlock because my pages were just loading too slowly for me to be able to do my work. In addition to this ad at top-right, there is almost always a banner ad running along the bottom of the page too. But it's less interesting as it's less visible although the bottom banner ad might be the one that slows it down the most.
