Same issue on FreeBSD amd64, using firefox 3.6.13 and nvidia drivers.
Especially launchpad.net brings the system to a crawl ('top' reports
Xorg and firefox-bin using up almost all of my two CPUs as I'm writing
this).

On the same computer (running Xubuntu 10.10 ), open this page in both Google Chromium and Firefox 4.0. Then hit 'end', then hit 'home'.

I took a look today, and it appears that Firefox is using an enormous pixmap that exceeds the GPU's maximum rendering dimensions, causing software fallbacks.

My observations (using firefox 3.6.13 and nvidia 260.19.06) - The problem only happens on launchpad.net. None of the other examples given on this bug still exhibit the problem. Likely they were all caused by the old slow javascript engine that was replaced in a version of FF since 3.0. But the launchpad problem is different because: - The problem still happens even when javascript is disabled, but it does not happen if you save the HTML of a launchpad bug and load that. - The problem gets worse as the firefox window becomes larger.

From much mucking about, I have decided that to fully reproduce this bug requires the below. Ubuntu 8.04.1 2.6.24-21 64-bit nvidia-glx-new 169.12 With Xinerama enabled in xorg.conf.

Perhaps mismatched cards are the culprit. They seem to run fine in Windows Vista (64-bit) The fix above definitely sped some parts of the gui up, but slowed all the javascript way down.

[Bug 223238] Re: Extremely slow Ajax/Javascript/CSS performance in Firefox 3 using non-free nvidia-glx-new
Have the same exact issue here. I have an nVidia card on my laptop - I have ultra slow JavaScript/AJAX performance in Firefox and Epiphany. The library I mainly use for development purposes is jQuery. I just downloaded and installed the latest version of Opera, and the JavaScript performance is perfect - no delays/slowness at all. Likewise, I have Windows XP running as a virtual instance through VirtualBox and the performance is fine in Firefox and Google Chrome (I didn't test anything else there). I notice the performance problem is biggest in two situations: 1. When JavaScript DOM manipulation is taking place in HTML elements that are nested pretty deep: When I have the same script running on a top level element vs. a deeply nested one, the performance in the deeply nested one is a lot worst. 2. Generally, when working with pretty complex pages. For example, dragging/dropping elements with a lot of nested elements inside the draggable container.

Sorry but I really resist the logic from Vadim Peretokin and others that the bug is nvidia's because it works well with ati. If a site works well in IE is it a bug in firefox if it doesn't work there? Surely something might need improvement in Nvidia's drivers.

I saved a local copy of the CSS, and did a binary search to find the
offending CSS. Here it is:
#page {
background: url(images/structure/backgroundColumns.png) repeat-y;
background-position: 3px;
margin-top: 50px;
width: 970px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
border: 1px solid #D9D9D9;
z-index: 10;
}
Readding pretty much anything on the #page entity causes rendering
stalls. I started readding individual lines from this chunk, but there
didn't seem to be one particular culprit. It seems that most/all of
these lines contribute to the sluggishness somehow, to varying degrees.
This is a background repeat issue (again) ... appears that nvidia xaa
implementation has its own share of issues with that.
Please attach your xorg.conf and your Xorg.0.log taken after
reproducing.

[Bug 223238] Re: Extremely slow Ajax/Javascript/CSS performance in Firefox 3 using non-free nvidia-glx-new
With the RC release of Firefox this problems was gonne... now with Final realse again i have this slow problem on scrolling... no matter if is nVidia or ATI restricted driver... I think is more related to Firefox than a video driver... since like i said, in RC release was solved and the scrolling was fast. -- Extremely slow Ajax/Javascript/CSS performance in Firefox 3 using non-free nvidia-glx-new https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223238 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 223238] Re: Extremely slow Ajax/Javascript/CSS performance in Firefox 3 using non-free nvidia-glx-new
** Summary changed: - Extremely slow Ajax/Javascript performance in Firefox 3 for Linux + Extremely slow Ajax/Javascript/CSS performance in Firefox 3 using non-free nvidia-glx-new ** Description changed: Binary package hint: firefox-3.0 With Ubuntu 8.04 Firefox 3.0 has extremely slow Ajax/Javascript performance (I'm not sure - exactly what). + exactly what). Probably CSS related. #1 Gmail scrolls very slowly (compare this by switching gmail to HTML version at the bottom of inbox) #2 Javascript images open/close/transition extremely slow examples: http://www.shacknews.com/ (images near the top of page, when transitioning, bring FF3.0 to its knees) http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/downloads/ssotd/#latest (images opening and switching to next one) http://www.transmissionbt.com/screenshots.php (opening and closing images are very choppy) There are many more, those are just a few. I have both enabled and disabled Compiz but the problem is still there. I am not a web developer and can't pinpoint exactly what sort of code is causing the extreme slowness but I have tested it on multiple machines to make sure. I have compared it to my Windows XP dual boot box and the difference is night and day so it is definitely a Linux issue. Also on a Mac OS 10.4 machine its noticeably faster. This bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217580 Is similar but only deals with Gmail, it is now known to be widespread issue. With performance this slow Firefox 3.0 beta should never have been the default browser. Unless its just the few machines I've used of course.
