Comment #16 on issue 295 by ham90mack: Animated GIF issues http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=295
I have a slower computer than most people and I have noticed that the CPU usage in large animated GIFs increases as each frame gets displayed until the usage reaches 100%, after which the frame rate gets slower and slower. But when the animation starts over from the beginning, the frame rate goes fast again until a certain amount of frames pass when it slows back down. I have experienced the same results in Internet Explorer and Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. Firefox and Netscape (plus some special picture viewers) seem to have a much better animated GIF engine because they play perfectly fine on my computer at full frame rate and low CPU usage. I could be completely wrong about the following statement, but it almost seems like the frames are being pulled from the GIF file recursively instead of iteratively, which is extremely inefficient. Large animated GIFs are kind of annoying for me because I have to open up a different web browser to view them or suffer through them if they are embedded in the page. If a faster GIF rendering engine would be made for Chrome, that will be another large disadvantage of this browser (on my list) that will be resolved. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
