Significant Browse performance problem

In Build 3.2.0 for XO-4 (build 11) I have noticed a significant browse performance problem. On some pages, browse causes X to lock up for many seconds. The mouse pointer stops moving and you can see (if logged in via SSH) that X is consuming >80% of the cpu. https://access.redhat.com/site/docu

The crash in X is certainly worth a ticket. The other problems sound a bit interesting too. I haven't had a chance to look at this build on XO-1.75 yet. On Mon, Jul 01, 2013 at 12:55:01AM -0700, Yioryos Asprobounitis wrote: > With the death of my XO-1.5 tried using an XO-1.75 (running 13.2.0-11)

With the death of my XO-1.5 tried using an XO-1.75 (running 13.2.0-11) for more than just testing. Although Sugar is pretty solid, GNOME has several little (or bigger) annoyances. The more serious is that you can consistently crash X (segfaults) if you try to re-organise the firefox bookmarks! I
