I don't have any problems with the perl.com page either. Not with 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.1-2 at least. One page that has caused me problems lately, though, is http://www.aftonbladet.se
When I timed it earlier today, Firefox used all available CPU time for just over a minute, before settling down again. (The page shows up and is usable long before that, of course, but you can feel the computer is bogged down with whatever it is that Firefox is doing.) At first I thought maybe Flash was to blame, in spite of having the Flashblock extension installed, but that does not seem to be the case. Disabling JavaScript cuts down that time to about 25 seconds. An improvement, but it still seems like a rather long time. Granted, my computer is a lowly 450 MHz P3 with 256 MB RAM, so it's not exactly state-of-the-art any more. I don't know how it behaves on faster computers. The only extensions I have installed are DOM Inspector (1.8.0.1) and Flashblock (1.5.1). I do have the official Shockwave Flash plugin (7.0 r61) and, since I haven't yet figured out how to disable it, the SVG plugin (2.12.7-5) from librsvg2-bin. Other than that, it should be a pretty bare-bones Firefox installation. Regards, Torbjörn Andersson
