The !list trigger is not as fast as it is under mirc.

Reproducible: Always

How 'fast' the response is you get from a !list message depends mostly on your
connection and the responsiveness of the other people in the channel. The
'slowness' of the response would be because ChatZilla spends time to munge the
often overly ridiculous use of colour codes in the messages you get back. The
time it takes to munge may be slower than the time it takes mIRC to do this, but
that is definitely not specific to the !list command. You would probably get the
same kind of 'slowness' if you use /motd.

And even so, given that munging lots of text in ChatZilla is slow, a large part
is the Gecko DOM being slow when adding nodes - which we can't do anything about.

Unless you have any arguments or further explanations (your bug report is *very*
vague), I would be tempted to mark this bug as INVALID.
