Description

[Chris Lawson (gone)]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050307 Camino/0.8+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050307 Camino/0.8+

Upon launching Camino, new tabs open immediately when cmd-clicking on a link.
After browsing for a while, opening and closing windows, switching to other
apps, etc., new tabs and new windows open only after a very noticeable delay
(probably about 1.0 to 1.5 seconds). Quitting Camino and re-opening it starts
the process all over again.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Camino.
2. Go about normal browsing for a while.
3. Eventually, opening new tabs or new windows will occur after a short but
noticeable delay.
4. Quit Camino.
5. GOTO (1).
Actual Results:  
Camino opened new tabs with a noticeable delay, then resumed normal operation
following the quit/reopen.

Expected Results:  
The delay never should have occurred.

Cache is turned off via user.js.
Problem occurs in latest official nightly as well as G4-optimised builds.
Problem began only in the last two or three days.

This has been happening to me, too; I've mentioned it on IRC a few times. It
seems to correlate with the fix for Bug 215235 (though I guess it could be
something else).

I think this is because we're loading a new copy of the bookmarks editing nib
for every tab.

The slowdown is caused by all the tooltip futzing in the extended outline view,
because we don't release the views i guess.

Fixed.
