Linuxs 2001031921 & 2001031611, Linux 2.4.2-ac7, XFree86 4.0.2, RedHat 6.1 For the given URL, mozilla takes up 95-99% of the CPU, and mozilla becomes unresponsive, and sometimes even crashes. I'm filing this under OJI because it's the mozilla-bin process that's consuming the CPU, and not the JVM, so my non-educated guess is that it's a problem with the mozilla/JVM interface.
The given page is no-longer serving the same ad it was yesterday (when it was serving the same ad over and over for the same page). I'll attempt to track down the ad.
Ooops, turns out it's a shockwave ad, and not a java applet. Changing the summary, URL, and component, and adding an attachment which gives you the problem ad.
Component: OJI → Browser-General
Summary: Mozilla hogs CPU for certain Java applet → Shockwave ad hogs CPU

The attachment doesn't work for me. Would you double check it please?
Looks like they've taken it down; grrr. I'll try to contact IBM (I think that they were the ones who did it) and see if I can find a permanent URL that'll have it.
Here's another page with a similar shockwave widget: http://www.soundsourcenet.com/homepage.html This bug appears to exist under Windows NT, Mozilla 0.9.1 Build 2001060703 as well.

reassign to self. I'm unable to reproduce this with any latest (Dec. 2001) linux builds. flash animation on both test urls http://www.soundsourcenet.com/homepage.html http://www.nmoweb.net (from bug# 80251) works fine, no performance degradation or any cpu problem. Matthew are you still seeing this problem?
