I see you're using 1.6, so please try with a clean profile and a newer official
release or even with a build from
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/latest/

You're using a 9 months old version: "be sure that you've reproduced your bug
using a build released within the past three days. Our development process moves
at lightning speed, and the bug you've found may already have been fixed."
http://www.mozilla.org/quality/bug-writing-guidelines.html

For many reasons, you should read carefully that document: writing useful bug
report helps volunteers and the whole process of fixing, resolving bugs.

There has been problems with the wanadoo.fr page in the past (see bug 239679 for
starters): it looks like it could be the case again. I confirm that such page is
slow to render with the 2004100504 build; the cpu gets maxed during 8 seconds.
The wanadoo.fr page has 7 external script files (some of them being dynamically
linked), over 1000 lines (including inline) of js code, 800 lines of css rules
and css declarations, over 2200 lines of markup code, mostly non-standard and
invalid markup (630 validation errors), 5 nested tables, complex js code for
iframed banner ads, a swf file to download, many document.write's all without
document.close(), etc.. 

The page is also slow with Opera 7.54 if you clear the cache: it takes me 10
sec. to be able to start reading the page and 43 sec. for the whole page to
finish downloading with Opera 7.54. The js console will also report that
"Reference to undefined variable: No such variable 'grid'".

With Mozilla 1.8a5 build 2004100504, it takes 50 sec. to load and be rendered:
the most important difference between Opera 7.54 and Mozilla 1.8a5 is that the
cpu does not get maxed with Opera 7.54.

But it is true that it is much quicker with IE : I can estimate the total time
to less than 10s (to *finish* loading) there.
Of course fixing the code should help...

This bug needs a minimal testcase.

I have noted that calling the URL
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/test/3.90/x86_64/os/Fedora/RPMS/
causes Mozilla to create an excessive load on the local PC.

Loading the same page in Opera 7.54 goes in under 20 seconds.

Worth a tuning session or two?

www.wanadoo.fr loads pretty quickly for me (<10s) with linux suit trunk build
2005040201.  I was mainly waiting for data to come over the network.

Is this still a problem for anyone else?

Comment 7

[Bernard LAMBERT]

I have switch to Firefox ( 1.x , now 1.0.2 from Suse Rpm) and the problem
does'nt appears with It. 

so I can't confirm if the problem still remaind with the new version of Mozilla

thanks.  It's highly unlikely this would be app-specific.
