User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090803 Fedora/3.5.2-2.fc11 Firefox/3.5.2
Build Identifier: Weave 0.6

I have many tabs open on this and the other computer. Both sync with weave.
On either computers, when I go in the menu: History:Tabs from other computers I have to wait something like 8 sec before the actual list shows up. After that the selection is speedy. But if i quit the menu and come back I have to wait 8s again.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Have at least 2 (I have 3) computers syncing lots of tabs (100 totals)
2. Go into history menu and move the mouse onto the tabs from other computer

Actual Results:  
A long wait begins...

Expected Results:  
It should be a lot quicker (at least after the first time).

I have no other computers and no tabs in the history folder.  If I click on the History folder Tabs From Other Computers, it correctly shows No Tabs however the menu gets stuck and stays open.  I have to wait up to two minutes before I can use Firefox again and the menu does not close.  I have to keep clicking until it lets me open another menu and then the History menu disappears.  My platform is OS X 10.6.2.

This problem is gone with weave 1.0
The tab menu now shows up quickly.
