It is much faster with IE. It may be of my slow CPU (P2 350mhz) but that doesn't explain why it works much faster with IE. Well sometimes it seems to work fine for a while but it goes back slow again. Compare it with IE to see what I mean. This may be Macromedia's fault tho. I made the .swf so if it's the .swf's fault you can blame me :-) Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.visit url http://www.yahob.gr/NEWsite/index4.shtml and compare Mozilla with IE Actual Results: Flash performed poorly compared to IE Expected Results: Performance equal to IE.

IE uses ActiveX controls, Netscape and Opera use NPAPIs, that means that IE uses a completely different set of code to rprocess plug-ins. Performance is also affected by how the author created the plug-in, they may have used memory intensive functions within the plug-in instance, and in the ActiveX version used a different set of functions. It aslo depends on how the site sniffs the users browser, there may be incorrect js used to reallocate pages At this particular location, if you access the swf file directly, it loads promptly and correctly, which is a good indication that the site has somehow used incorrect sniffing code. Try going to: http://www.yahob.gr/NEWsite/flash/123.swf Here is the js they use at the top of the page: <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- function MM_reloadPage(init) { //reloads the window if Nav4 resized if (init==true) with (navigator) {if ((appName=="Netscape")&&(parseInt(appVersion)==4)) { document.MM_pgW=innerWidth; document.MM_pgH=innerHeight; onresize=MM_reloadPage; }} else if (innerWidth!=document.MM_pgW || innerHeight!=document.MM_pgH) location.reload(); } MM_reloadPage(true); // --> </script> Testing that page in IE 6 and the flash does not load, however the rest of the page partially loads.

My results: With IE5.5 some Navigation (?) is loaded (mail, forum, games), but it does not work. Info on right mouseclick: Flash 3 (?!) With Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021103 I get a white area with blue growing cicles when museover Info on right mouseclick: Flash 6 With NN4.78 I get a white area (only) With OPERA: Page did not load (might have eben a system resources problem)

assigning to AV to help look at the js and rendering.

Please check with a recent build and latest Flash 6, you can get it here: ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/netscape7/english/7.02/windows/win32/eehxkt/flash.xpi The Flash performance issue was likely fixed with bug 132759. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 132759 ***
