[Bug 217580] Re: Slow performance with Gmail

[Giannis Tsakiris]

I can confirm slow Firefox scrolling on Gmail. on a Dell Latitude D630
laptop (Core2 Duo 2.2GHz, 4GB RAM) with Nvidia Quadro 135 (128mb).
Scrolling is so slow that I stop turning the mouse wheel and Firefox
tries to keep up for 20 more seconds (!!!) and sometimes it turns gray
(not responding).

Some interesting notes:
1) the problem does not occur in the version of Gmail without Gtalk. (older interface).
2) the problem occurs with other browsers too, but they're all based in Gecko.
3) problem occurs with both compiz enabled or disabled.
4) 3D graphics work like a marvel (for example, Desktop cube).

I have enabled the Nvidia restricted drivers version 177.

I hope this bug to be fixed soon because it is such a pity for Linux
users to have such a bad experience while Windows users have Firefox
working smoothly and very responsively.
