[Bug 217580] Re: Slow performance with Gmail

Hello guys,
     too bad I have to agree with you. My previous statement was an error, I
posted to the wrong bug.

To demostrate this slowness as a quantitative issue, I taken some simple
measurements with top during some simple gmail scrolling activity.

You can see that during this simple scrolling test, my CPU goes to 100% and
the user experience is painfully slow. I don't have a top-of-the-notch PC,
it is a 1.6GHZ Athlon, but I find ridiculous this slowness when an iPhone
can scroll sites at a 10x this speed.

I think this is quite a bad problem from the user point of view, especially
since Firefox 3 is noticeably faster than Firefox 2 when drawing web pages.
Gmail and other sites are the expception, too bad.

Here you can find my measurements. As you can see, about 50% of CPU time is
spent in firefox, the other 50% in Xorg. Since it is a CPU issue I think
that we actually _can_ track this issue down, perhaps with some profiling
tool? I'm willing to help in this regard, if Alex or any other developer
could tell me what should be done to find the hot spot, I can do the test
for you.

Last note regarding my configuration. I use metacity, not compiz. X drivers
are NVIDIA, distro is Hardy up-to-date.

Here is the top log:
