AFAIK it's supposed to be capable of rendering some complex Asian
scripts. Unfortunately it comes with a huge performance hit.
Why? I don't know:(

Pango is enabled by default in Firefox 1.5.
export MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1 and try again.


Wow. Thanks a lot, I missed that post in the forums.
It seems to make a difference.
Why does Pango support cripple the thing?

Do you have smooth scrolling turned on?  When I had that on it just
tore through whatever remaining CPU I had left like oil refinery on
fire because it was re-rendering everything so darn often.  On my
machine, that was such excrutiating torture...


Nice suggestion. With smooth scrolling turned off, things are a bit 
smoother (oh, the irony...) - I didn't know about this "feature".


I'm also removing extensions to see where's the culprit.

Pango is enabled by default in Firefox 1.5.
export MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1 and try again.
There's been a thread in the forums lately:

Yes. Same issues. I also reinstalled Flash plugin and I noticed that
flash playback is horribly slow and also eats CPU.

Update. I tried with firefox -safe-mode and things are somehow better 
(but still not as good as with FF 1.0.x).

[gentoo-user] firefox 1.5 CPU usage - is it normal?

2006-06-05 Thread b.n.

Hi,
I updated today to FF 1.5.0.4 x86 stable.
I noticed that it seems to eat MUCH more cpu than 1.0.x ; in particular 
when scrolling pages or the bookmarks the cpu usage rockets to >90%, and 
scrolling becomes not fluid. It also tends to get stuck when loading 
pages and the like.

Thanks,
