126645 - Ultra-slow scrolling at this URL

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 90198

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Mark Slater]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.8+)
Gecko/20020219
BuildID:    2002021915

Until recently, the page in the URL scrolled with almost no slow-down (it uses a
white-pixel-and-transparent-pixel GIF file to make it look like the background
is shining thru, which gave Mozilla a bit of a headache, but nothing terrible).
With 2002021915, rendering is painfully slow.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit URL
2. Scroll


Actual Results:  Mozilla slows to a crawl.

Expected Results:  Should've scrolled without any problems.

there are some animations on the page. Would be interesting to see if it
improves with the recent checkin for bug 125025. On Linux i see X jump to 97%
while i scroll the page. It's only at around 4-5% before scrolling though.

This might be a dup of something...regardless.

I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the recent fixing of bug 122996
(fixed on the 19th)?

Another thing: I reported seeing this on Win2k (at work). On my home machine
(Win98), using 2002022003, I have no scrolling problems.

Still seeing this on 2002022503, Win2k (again, no problems with same build on
Win98). Perhaps it has something to do with the videocard? I'm using a 32MB ATI
Rage 128 Ultra on the machine on which I see this problem.

I believe it has something to do with fixed backgrounds, check this other site:

http://www.nypl.org/styleguide/css/guidelines3.html

Same slow scrolling (for me anyways), and the only thing it has in common with
www.brainstormsandraves.com is the fixed background (as far as I can see).
