Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: epiphany-browser
I'm using epi 2.21.92, Powered by gecko-1.9, in ubuntu 8.04... and the
cpu usage is *insanely* high whenever I type something in the
location/address bar! It lags to death
0 cpu will be used if you keep typing >1 caracters per second, but as
soon as you pause, the "search" kicks in and it lags for one full second
till the dropdown appears. If you happen to type slow, this is
unbearable, as the "blocking UI" is disorienting and interrupts you
again while you type. Then you end up thinking the whole computer is
lagging, whereas it is "only" the epiphany address bar.
This problem is so obvious on my machine that I actually noticed it.
Epiphany 2.20.x never was that slow and did not hog the CPU when you
were typing in the location bar.
I reported this upstream (gnome bug 520215) but they did not react. I
thought maybe it was an ubuntu issue.
