When I surf to a slow site and the page gets loaded except som image I see that the cpu time get up to nearly 100% until all the images are loaded. That makes it allmost impossible to scroll down a page that isn't completly loaded. And the browser feels slow. But when I use viewer instead of apprunner I'm able to scroll down not completly loaded pages, and the browser feels a lot faster.

Known bug. Performance problems will be addressed in the M8 milestone :-) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 2151 ***

jan: This may be a different issue than what is described in bug#2151. I unmarking its duplicate status. -pn

Okey, dokey. Let's try netlib guys for ideas. Clearing Dup resolution.

The matter is particularly jarring as cycles the Win98 Apprunner build of 1999061509. Visit sites such as http://slashdot.org/, http://www.spaceviews.com/ or http://www.msss.com/mars/global_surveyor/camera/images/index.html ... or, indeed, any moderately intensive site. Mozilla hangs on this machine, failing to refresh the display while it ravenously consumes CPU time... until all is loaded. This is a slayer of casual-tester interest.

necko landing -> m8

Necko landing...

I'm moving this to target M9, Necko will be enabled somewhere during late M8 or early M9. We will need to get on this and it cannot be postponed past the M9 milestone.

Changing all Networking Library/Browser bugs to Networking-Core component for Browser. Occasionally, Bugzilla will burp and cause Verified bugs to reopen when I do this in a bulk change. If this happens, I will fix. ;-)

Pls. verify with Necko.

marking fixed to get on radar for testing, will verify when Linux does not crash on startup for me

this may or not be fixed, but regardless we would need a more specific bug. Please check out with necko.

Bulk move of all Networking-Core (to be deleted component) bugs to new Networking component.
