289658 - Browser slows down to crawl / 1 character per 5 seconds

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 272954

(Camino Graveyard :: HTML Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Jo Rhett]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050331 Camino/0.8.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050331 Camino/0.8.3

If you go to a site using the SMF board, they have a piece of javascript that
counts how many characters you have entered.  On every browser but Camino this
works fine (including Firefox for OS X)

In Camino, the browser slows down so much that if you type a paragraph you can
go get coffee from Starbucks and get back before all the characters you have
typed appear.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to any SMF-based forum
2.Click "New topic"
3.Try to type in the form box

Actual Results:  
a character every few seconds

Expected Results:  
8-10 characters per second, depending on how fast you type I guess.

When does Camino start to slow down? I was all over Forums (SMF part) etc.. no
slow down. Did you test with a/the nightly?
