Thanks for the tip. I tried to create a new profile, and, very surprising for me, it does make a big difference! It's still pretty slow when initially loading the page (the address previously mentioned), but when alt-tabbing between windows, it repaints the page instantly now. How come?! What exactly is stored in the profile? Shouldn't the page renderer (Necko?) render a page the same way, regardless of what email settings that I have for instance? How can the profile affect the performance on the screen painting of websites? And an even harder question to ask, why is it just this page, and not every page? Of course, I'm sure there are other pages that has the same problem on this machine, but still... why? / David
