[Bug 132681] Re: firefox very slow compared to other browsers on large pages

[Coenraad Loubser]

I have similar symptoms on a clean install of Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy.

Firefox slows to less than a crawl (it's painful typing this!)

I have one page open that uses AJAX and Javascript to update a table.
The page is less than 1K. As long as this (or any other javascript-
containing window is open) FF Cpu usage jumps to 100% every other
second.

Soon as I kill firefox my system performance returns to normal.

P4 3Ghz, Geforce 6800, Compiz-fusion Gnome desktop.

I did install the google toolbar, and have disabled it, same prob. Don't
recall it happening before though. I will remove FF and do a neat
install and report back.
