Package: xulrunner-1.9.1 Version: 1.9.1.9-7 Severity: important After upgrading iceweasel from 3.0.14-1 to 3.5.9-3, I found that pages now render much more slowly. I can actually watch the page being redrawn from top to bottom now, whereas before a redraw/initial render was almost instant. Scrolling is also very slow. Menus draw slowly, and the cursor freezes for a moment whenever the focus switches to/from a different application. This makes iceweasel painful to use.
I tried version 3.6.4~build2-1 from experimental with the same results. Against dpkg's better judgment, I downgraded libcairo2 to version 1.8.6-2+b1 (the newest old version I could find), with the result that iceweasel 3.5.9 renders at normal speed. I also tried version 1.9.6-6 of cairo and got the same slowdown. The binary package of 3.6.3 from mozilla.org renders normally with any of these versions of cairo. I'm not sure whether this is really a cairo bug, or if xulrunner is doing something funny. If I get time I'll try to find the patch in cairo that makes the difference. I haven't seen any ill effects from using cairo 1.8.6, so I'm leaving it installed as a work-around.
