With Mozilla 0.9.8 on a PII-300 running Mandrake Linux 8.1, I can type
significantly faster than Mozilla renders my typing into the textboxes at the
right side of the page.

Oddly, Bug #114945 (Text input into the form's input area) works for me.
Sorry, I meant Mandrake Linux 8.0.
Keywords: perf
Note to myself:

The page is made up of a bunch of absolute positioned divs. Typing in the
textfield in the div positioned on the right is causing all the other divs to
repaint too, so we end up painting the entire page with each keystroke. Need to
figure out why these invalidations/reflows are leaking out of the textfield.

Seeing even on Celeron-566 machine and RedHat Linux

I can't access http://140.180.156.177/ anymore, but if I recall correctly, it
was a page with an absolutely positioned textfield, which when you typed in it,
was causing everything below it to reflow and repaint. It also had lots of
images on the page.

I think this page was a combination of all the problems pointed out in 141900.
Daniel, is there anyway we can get access to the page again? Or could you
download a trunk build that is from 06/14/02 8am or later and verify that the
problem no longer exists?

I just confirmed that typing in the text widgets at http://67.80.87.243:8080/ is
faster than it used to be ... rendering keeps up with my typing fast and
furiously on a 500Mhz PIII running Linux, 1Ghz PIII running Win2k and a Mac G3
running 0S9

Daniel was there a reason why you reopened this bug? If not, I'm going to
re-resolve it as a dup of bug 141900.
