[5/29-04 w32 talkback]
steps:
copy contents of nsTableFrame.cpp (4290 lines)
go to a page that has a text area (bugzilla comment field). paste.
[hover over reload button]

On my p2/450 w2k it took 62 seconds and I had the Ibeam for the entire time.

expect: busy cursor since I can't click any of the nav buttons.
I also noticed this during performance testing...I've included a URL
above that I used.

I also see the same problem when opening a file like the one above.
When I paste huge amount of text using right-click pop-up menu, the menu stays
there and the world freezes over...

I see a watch cursor on my Mac build.  Is this a windows-specific bug?
Mac shows a watch cursor whenever it's away from the main event look for any 
length of time. So these kinds of bugs will differ across platforms.
This is a general problem needed in many places -- we don't use the busy
cursor at all!
Anyone know if and how we show a busy cursor?
Summary: show busy cursor when pasting → show busy cursor when pasting and other slow actions
Hrm, wouldn't it be better to fix pasting speed rather than indicate to the user
that we're just darned slow?

If I pasted a short amount of text, setting the cursor then re-setting the
cursor is going to slow it down slightly - you have to ask, why at all. I guess
you also run to risk of a bug creeping in that stops the mouse cursor being
turned back to normal again on quick pastes.
I doubt that setting the cursor twice would slow anything down much. It's O(1),
and it doesn't make a significant impact in any app I've seen.
bryner says it's window.setCursor("wait");
If it's that easy, we definitely should do this before release!

cursor)
