Public bug reported:
Lastest hardy on Feb 26, 2008. Certain applications have started
experiencing slowness on window operations today. For example, Firefox 3
open file dialog takes about 20 seconds to open up. Thunderbird 2.0 does
as well. However, swiftweasel shows now such slowness. Gnome appearance
applet takes about 20 seconds to launch (shows up in the running program
list immediately, but the window takes 20 seconds to pop up).
Nautilus flies open, too.
I ran strace on firefox and thunderbird and the slowness coincides with
a futex ETIMEDOUT event. This repeats every few milliseconds until the
window opens. The firefox trace is attached to this comment. The same
error happend in Thunderbird.
I am running 64-bit with an encrypted file system (128-bit AES). Haven't
seen any slowness until today, though.
