If a blank window is opened, it takes 8sec to appear and be usable.  If either
the new window, or the old window are rendering a page, this jumps up to
14-19sec.  If they are both rendering, it ends up being 26sec for either window
to become usable.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.have a window open
2.open a new one


Actual Results:  depending on the amout of rendering going on, it takes way too
long for Mozilla to return to a usible state.

Expected Results:  I would expect windows to be usable almost imedieatly


I am using a 266 G3 iMac, w/ 96Megs of RAM.
Added perf keyword.  Can't confirm b/c my machine is better endowed :)

there should be a "d" in rendering.  oops.
Summary: opening renering windows is incredably slow → opening rendering windows is incredably slow
Could be considered dogfood for people who routinely command-click on links.

Ever confirmed: true
Summary: opening rendering windows is incredably slow → Opening new browser windows is incredibly slow
Isn't this really a dupe of bug #7672?
I believe that 7672 concerns the time it takes for the open new window
functionality to become available after opening a new window and this bug is
about the total time it takes to open a new window.  I think but am not sure
that you can open a new window before the first window has finished opening.
That would make these two bugs different.  I'm unable to test this reliably
because my new windows take less than 2 seconds to appear.
Marking duplicate of a newer bug, because the other bug has more favorable status 
whiteboard contents.
