95192 - some (all?) pages with Macromedia Flash take a long time to load

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Rainer Mager]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.3+) Gecko/20010814
BuildID:    20010814

The above URL (http://maxpayne.godgames.com/) demonstrates the problem. On my
machine this page took longer than 5 minutes to display. In InternetExplorer it
was virtually instantaneous.

During the delay in Mozilla the mozilla process took negligable CPU resources
(according to 'top').

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. visit a site with Flash

Actual Results:  very slow display

Expected Results:  fast display

I haven't seen any movement on this bug. Isn't there anything I can try to do to
view Flash?

sounds like the same issue as in bug 99361
I see this bug with large animations, in particular when there are several of
them active. I don't see it with small animations, like adds.

umm.. the page in URL-field here currently redirects, causing a 404
(5 h. old CVS, linux)

I just started noticing this myself with Mozilla 0.9.5.  I have only tried it
Linux (Redhat 7.0, 2.4.9 kernel, running GNOME 1.4).  I tested it by going to
http://www.harrypotter.com, and when I did not have flash installed, the page
came up telling me to get it, and after I installed it the browser froze.  I
didn't wait to see if it would come back -- after a minute or two I just killed
the process and started a new one.  It happens on every page I've been to that
uses flash.  And it worked fine in 0.9.4.
