Hi Everyone, I'm trying to figure out if I'm doing something wrong or if WebKit is just inherently slow to render images. I have a javascript slide show where I would like to display a serious of fixed position images in quick succession. Firefox works very well and uses little to no CPU to do this.
WebKit, however, chews up an entire core and displays the images at a significantly slower rate than desired. It does this in WebKit nightly, Safari, and Chrome. I've published a [test page][1]. If I try [significantly simpler][2] or [compressed to oblivion][3] images, WebKit seems to perform alright.

If anyone reading this is on Stack Overflow, I've also published a [question][4] there that hasn't gotten much traction yet, hence this post.
