The page http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2003/8/25/81349/5640 is causing Mozilla
to "freeze" for a short period of time. If I have multiple windows open then
nothing happens in Mozilla until all the data is downloaded and rendered onto
the screen. 

Reproducible: Always

csherlock, what is you CPU and RAM?

On my Athlon 2600+ (512 MB, WinXP) it "freezes" for about 0.2 seconds I guess.
considering this page is >150 kB and full of list items, I don't think I'd call
this abnormal. 
Anyway, someone on Linux should also try it.

My Linux PC is running a PIII 600MHz, 256MB RAM, 128MB swap space. Nothing else
slows down, just mozilla "freezes" 2 or 3 seconds - long enough for me to notice
it. 

Linux kernel is 2.4.22-1.2174.nptl.

Yep, I realise you don't believe me, but it happens.

You know, I think I should clarify something here. It's not the window that the
page is trying to render on that I'm concerned about here... it's the fact that
all *other* windows freeze up for me. Like I have mail open and I can't quickly
switch to it as it won't redraw until the other page is rendered completely. 

If you already know what my bug report meant then no worries. Sorry for the
snipey comment before.
