So I recently switched from my old Gentoo install to a fresh Debian Squeeze box. For the most part it has been a pleasant experience. However, surf is now /much/ slower at rendering. Quite often resizing a window will cause a several second pause before it is redrawn. It's worth noting that my computer is old and slow (1.2GHz), but I recently upgraded the RAM to 2GiB, and it certainly isn't swapping or anything.
I presume this is due to the version of libwebkit in Debian (1.2.7), but I used to use the same version in Gentoo, without seeing such severe speed issues. Has anybody else seen similar problems? I want to keep my sanity, so don't plan on delving far into what's going on in webkit. Nick
