Confirming that the browser hangs at that site (linux trunk 2000-11-16 CVS build). I interrupted execution and dumped a stack trace.

Summary: Total browser crash → browser hangs in layout at this page
I just tried this out with Build 2000111808 on Win32 (Win2000) as I was going to try and find a minimal test case, and although mozilla does suck up 42MB of RAM while rendering this page, it doesn't hang my machine or go into an infinite loop. Takes about 6, maybe 7 seconds to render (dual p3/800).
this is an {ib} preformance problem. since it looks like a hang, I'll leave the crash keyword in place, but it really is still making progress. the code that is causing us grief is in nsBlockFrame::RenumberListsFor() see http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/layout/html/base/src/nsBlockFrame.cpp#7100 the comment for this code says: // XXX temporary code: after ib work is done in frame construction // code this can be removed. unfortunately, it doesn't say exactly *what* ib work in frame construction needs to be done before this code can get the ax. the comment for this code says: http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/layout/html/base/src/nsBlockFrame.cpp#7100

this bug really needs a reduced test case

Performance loss to debug code is one thing, but this is rediculous. My celeron 333a uniprocessor system took *8 minutes* to finish rendering http://userpages.aug.com/sgraham/news.html Mozilla appeared totally locked up until it finished.

Removing all the <font> tags solved the problem. Doing more investigation...
Changing all <ul>, <ol> and <li> tags to <div>s massively improved matters. That would be bug 42138 (thanks tor). I'm trying to see if there is some other issue here (since even after that the page still takes a few seconds to reflow).
Comparing these two "reduced" test cases: http://www.hixie.ch/tests/perf/001.html http://www.hixie.ch/tests/perf/002.html ...one sees the only other major issue that I believe is visible on this page, namely that lines and lines of pure text reflow a LOT faster than lines and lines of <span>s containing pure text. If required, I can change those test cases into customisable CGI scripts. Removing "qawanted" since there are now two reduced test cases -- the one in bug 42138 for the unclosed <font> bug, and the ones above for the pathological case of lots and lots of text enclosed in <span> elements in one block. If more QA work is required please put it back in and ping me, thanks! :-)
