69626 - mozilla scrolling is slow on this site

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 68821

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Mike Palczewski]

These CSS body properties will cause scrolling up and down to become slow.

BODY {
        background: url(someurl.png) #e0e0f0 ;
        background-position: top left;
        background-attachment: fixed;
        background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

Here's a much smaller url that illustrates this on a small page.
http://students.washington.edu/mpalczew/finder_applet

Actually I moved the previous page to 
http://students.washington.edu/mpalczew/finder_applet/index2.html

This looks like a duplicate of "Major performance problem rendering some w3.org
pages"

By the way, your page at student.washington.edu seems to scroll fine, further
supporting the idea that it's the *:active rule causing problems here (since
your page does not have this rule.
