Using Moz 1.4 and Firebird 0.6, the browser becomes slow (difficult to scroll up
and down) when the web page is rendered.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open URL
2. Attempt to scroll up and down

Actual Results:  
Sluggish movement

Expected Results:  
Normal scrolling

This PC is a relatively capable >1GHz machine with 512MB RAM running NT4. I
think it is possible to reproduce this in XP. I have not tried Linux.

wfm (not that slow) on Win2k (CPU remains at 10% when scrolling) + PIII/933MHz
and Mozilla 2003072104.

wfm with win2k build 20030722 (Athlon 2600+)

Yep - Now using WindowsXP/Athlon1800XP/512MB RAM no problem.

Perhaps this is only an issue with the particular installation. On my other
computer.

If you want more information on the local installation - can someone let me know!

Not particularly painful on OS/2 1.4 K6/2-550. Many others much worse.

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

Unable to reproduce any obvious performance problem with the supplied URL on
Mozilla 1.7 alpha or nightly build 2004022909 on windows XP. Is this still a
problem on current builds?

[Tim Lipscomb]

No. I am using Mozilla Firefox 0.8/WinNT 4 and it seems to be ok.

I think this should be closed.
