29938 - xfs process shoots to 97% of CPU for 20 secs between page loads

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Keith Hankin]

Clicking on any link, there is a long delay before displaying next page.  Upon
using 'top', it indicates that xfs takes up 97% of CPU, taking up all of the delay.

pav, is this for you?  if not, do you know who should own this?  if so, would 
you pass the buck?

Dup of 30160?

If no, maybe 30382?

See bug 14961.

Is this a dup of bug 14961?  It sounds more generic.  We need to either resolve,
future or nominate for nsbeta3 with a compelling reason why we can't ship
without fixing it.

I'm noticing this too on NT using the task manager. On some pages, like 
mozilla.org, it's not that bad or even noticable. But on others like it shoots 
up to 100% when loading the page. Happens in Viewer too, just slightly not so 
bad. Comparing to IE and Nav, Seamonkey uses much more CPU time for a longer 
amount of time. 

It could be something in the source. I'll try to narrow it down and produce a 
test case.
