WFM Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826

But it does have some slowdown while loading and scrolling past the images.

It doesn't hang for me but it's very slow while it loads the 2MB Image.
scrolling is also slow

[Olivier Cahagne]

must be because of the background image: 1000x100 pixels, feels like dup of bug
143046.

WFM: Using 2002092904 build on WinXP. 750Mhz AMD processor. Scrolls smoothly
after loading.

Retested using Mozilla 1.2 alpha 2002100108 on Windows 98 on AMD K6-2 381 Mhz
system. Mozilla now loads the page fine. Then, when scrolling down, hang occurs.
Mozilla process can be killed.

WFM with 12/16/02 Trunk build on Win XP.
On the 11/21/02 Trunk build in Linux scrolling is a bit slow, but the browser
does not hang.

Andrew, do you still experience hanging with a recent Mozilla build on Linux? I
just tested the 1/08/03 Linux build and was able to load the page and scroll
down without having to kill the Mozilla process.

Still hangs with Mozilla 1.3 alpha build ID 2003010805, Windows 98SE. Have to
kill the Mozilla process after scrolling down. I don't have Linux.

Maybe it's a problem of Windows 98SE running out of resources. I would doubt
that, however, because each time I've visited the URL, Mozilla has hung.

The computer is an AMD K6-2 381 Mhz, 128MB RAM.

This WORKSFORME on Firefox 0.8/Win98SE.  Resetting priority and target
milestones since they were outdated.

Andrew, do you still see this hang with current builds?

[Andrew Hagen]

Using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040513 (latest-1.7
nightly build), I let the whole page and images download. Then I scroll a little
more than halfway down and try to scroll down more. Mozilla hangs just as before.

the essential part of it can be viewed at http://web.archive.org/web/20040522160830/http://scouts87_90.tripod.com/the4thusinfantryregiment/id11.html

it doesn't crash, but is slow.
