how long does this take? 5 minutes? 3 days?

If you "Reset Camino" (which will remove *all* of your user files including
bookmarks, history, preferences, etc), does this fix the problem?

I'm seeing something similar to this behaviour in recent nightlies. The longer Camino is open, the slower tab switching gets. It seems to be reset by closing all open windows, so maybe we're leaking memory while tabs are open?

It seems to be worse lately than a couple of weeks ago, but I couldn't say for sure, and I can't give specific instructions to reproduce it exactly, either.

Need more info here. Output from "top", whether it's many sites in one tab, or multiple tabs, or multiple windows. Does it get faster if you close all windows then make a new one? How much memory does the machine have? etc etc.

Also, which build did this start in?

Comment 6

[Mark Mentovai]

Considering all of the unsubstantiated "starts fast, gets slow" reports, it might be a good start to try quantifying this.  Some QA-minded person could do a pageload set, wait for it to finish, note the results, rinse, and repeat over a period of time to see if we have a measurable decay.

This is more than likely a dupe of bug 307251. So I'm duping it to that bug. That said, that bug may be a dupe of 301404. We'll have to see.
