Details

Whenever I try to load an HTML document (whether local, via the "Open..." dialog box or on the Net, by typing the URL and pressing RETURN) apprunner (Milestone 9) "crashes"; apprunner doesn't seem to do anything, the menubar clock goes on, and any other program in the background too. But I can't click any of the buttons or controls or menus. All I can do is switch between programs or force quit apprunner. I've got quite an old Mac (PPC 603, 120 Mhz) with 35 MB Virtual Memory (24 MB phisical). I've assigned 15 MB to apprunner.
Sorry to just hit up you Mac guys but I have no idea what this would be. Has apprunner been tested on slower macs? Who should this bug go to?
Judging by the report the user is actually getting apprunner to start which should take a considerable amount of time on that system (I think there have been reports of 10+ minutes for similiar machines). Loading a page shouldn't take nearly as long but do we know how long the user waited before deciding apprunner had "crashed"? One possibility that was mentioned for a slow loading problem I've seen intermittently is thread thrashing but without a special debug build I don't think we've got an easy way to track that.

This is still a Mac issue of some kind. I don't know who on the Mac side gets it. Throwing to chofmann for reassignment since I don't know who get it.
any takers? are there any profiling tools that will tell us where we are spending the time on this class machine, or higher?
ullmi, are you still experiencing this problem? or can we close this one out? I can't reproduce. adding ckritzer to cc list.
Hi, you can close this bug. That problem only happened with M9, M12 works just fine now.
