Package: iceweasel
Version: 2.0.0.12-1
Severity: normal
I sometimes read the newspaper at http://vg.no
My way of reading is to right-click each interesting article and
select "open in a new tab". That way I quicly finish reading all
the headlines before reading each article.
But - opening 5 os so tabs make iceweasel very slow, and 10 tabs
makes it lock up for several minutes at a time. Using --safe-mode
is no better.
This is not a network or linux swapping problem. The pages finish loading
quicly, but the cpu is stuck at 100% - iceweasel works and works
and accomplish nothing. The problem comes quickly, I open another
tab and notices a slowdown - then I know that opening one more tab
will kill performance completely.
The pages uses lots of graphichs and animated ads - so I wouldn't
complain if a single page was a little sluggish. I see no reason
why loading many such pages should bring iceweasel to a halt though.
After all - only _one_ tab is visible at a time. So there is only one
set of animations to run at any time. My computer is cabable of doing
that. The other pages should simply be put on hold until viewed.
Upping the iceweasel cache from 50MB to 500MB seems to help, but only
some. Iceweasel is sluggish, it switches between tabs using
"only" a few seconds each time - then it locks up with 100% cpu again
and is stuck for enough time to let me write this bug report.
If this is a cache issue - please give the viewed page priority in
cache. Don't let the invisible webpages cause cache trashing, if they
need more memory, just stop processing them until viewed. The
performance of that approach should be no worse than viewing the
pages sequentially.
Also - when iceweasel is "stuck", the animations on the page being
viewed runs all the time while the rest (html, images) isn't
updated at all. How about not wasting cpu on animation _at all_ until
the page is fully rendered? Until the switch to a different tab is
completed?
I know iceweasel processed the click on the new tab - because the new
tab is highlighted. So why is the animations for the old tab still
running, wasting cpu power that iceweasel seems to need for bringing up
the new page? Freezing/abandoning such processes ought to be among
the first things to do.
Finally - thanks for making this fine browser. I hope these performance
issues can be sorted out though. The pc is not underpowered - I can read
(and render) 10 of these pages sequentially in much less time than
the time iceweasel is stuck when trying to load them all simultaneously.
the simultaneous case shoudln't take more time than the sum
of the time needed for individual pages, as long as the pc and linux
have enough memory.

With no further information from the bug reporter, let's assume it got
better in Iceweasel 3.0.
If that is however not the case, please feel free to reopen.
Cheers,
Mike
