89392 - Excessive CPU Time While Idle

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 67409

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Ryan J. McDonough]

Mozilla uses A LOT of CPU time when running under Mac OS X. If you run"top" in
the terminal you'll notice that Mozilla can 22% to 65% of CPU time while it's
idle. While it's in the forground, iut's using between 55% to 85%. IE on the
other hand uses between 0.3% to 2%. There is also a noticable performace drop
too when tring to run other applications. And with classic running, it's
absolutley painful. The machine I'm running had the following configuration:
B & W G3 300Mhz
256Mb RAM
20Gb & 6GB drives

All this while running:

MySQL
Tomcat 3.2.2
BBEdit 6.1.2
Finder
IE 5.1.1

Terminal
Clock

I like that theory.  Polling loops -- ugh.
