102223 - google 10 second delay

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 77460

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[John Kozak]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20010913
BuildID:    2001091303

On doing any google search, results come back at once, but every browser
instance is locked (no scroll, mouse cursor doesn't change on move) for about
ten seconds.  CPU is at 100% during this.  This behaviour is not observed doing
the same searches with IE.

I've been using mozilla as my main browser for a bit - this behaviour seems new
with 0.9.4.  I haven't seen it on any other sites.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
do a google search, either from the toolbar slot, or the text box on the google
home page.

Actual Results:  results displayed
mozilla locks for 10 (ish) seconds
mozilla unlocks

Expected Results:  results displayed and browser available immediately.

Running on a dual processor box (ABIT BP6 based).
Not observed running mozilla 0.9.4 on linux on a different machine.
My google preferences are set to 50 results per search

OK, it's a virtual memory thing - Mozilla'd been running for a few days and is
taking 155Mb to show four windows!  Problem is cleared by restarting M.  Strange
that this only affects google!

Reporter: Are you still seeing this problem with a more recent build?

As far as the memory leaks, that's a known problem -- just check out the keyword

<Asa> caillon: I think that 102223 is probably a dupe of the "long buglists hang
browser" bug I filed.
<caillon> Asa: bug 77460 ?
<Asa> caillon: yep. it has to do with populating the sidebar search results.
It's a problem for long search results for any engines we have as search plugins.
