341135 - Very slow performance, machine nearly "stops"

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 166932

(Camino Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[espen fjogstad]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1a3) Gecko/20060604 Camino/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1a3) Gecko/20060604 Camino/1.0+

When loading certain websites, and moving around in them, Camino is very slow and seem to "eat up" my whole MacBook Pro machine (get "spinning wheel", sometimes for several seconds).  Site above is one where it happens all the time.  As the website I refer to does not have the same "way slow" performance on PCs and performs even better on Safari,  the performance is related to Camino.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Just enter the URL example and surf

Actual Results:  
very slow performance

Expected Results:  
behaved as it does with most type of websites.  the issue is related to Camino.

That site works fairly well here (on a G4/1.5, no less!), surprisingly enough. There's a bunch of scrolling Javascript ticker-type stuff on there, which is probably the source of most of the slowness. I'm blocking ads at the moment, and that might be helping a bit.

Regardless, this is a dupe of existing perf bugs. I'm not going to dupe it because Bugzilla's search is acting up right now, but someone else can do it whenever.

I find the same on a Dual G5 1.8. After loading certain sites, Camino starts to slow down. It continues slowing down, until you quit.
