An upgrade to testing this afternoon unexpectedly brought me Firefox/Iceweasel 3.0, which was fairly exciting. Here, though, it is just agonizingly slow---10-12 seconds between clicking `Bookmarks' in the Toolbar and the display of the menu. Scrolling through:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2008/07/thrd4.html is like wading through thick, thick mud. When one moves from screen to screen, iceweasel/firefox takes about 7 or 8 seconds to redraw its window. It's really unusable. Is anyone else seeing this? Epiphany behaves similarly, but Konqueror and Mozilla are wonderfully fast, suggesting that the problem (whatever it is) lies with Gecko. This last suspicion was confirmed when I installed epiphany-webkit and called it explicitly. It was just as fast as Konqueror and Mozilla. Upgrading to 3.0.1 in unstable makes matters, if anything, worse. Downgrading to version 2.0 in stable restores normal speed and usability. The problem is the same in the binary version available directly from mozilla.org. sigh Jim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
