Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.5.11-1
Iceweasel runs extremely slowly in my unstable VM. This is a relatively
new development (it used to be acceptable fast).
First, it displays dialog box but removes it too quickly to read it,
then after a while displays one which reads:
An error occurred while loading or saving
configuration information for firefox-bin. Some of
your configuration settings may not work properly.
There are Details and OK buttons, neither of which appear to do anything.
After waiting a bit more a large, empty window appears. A bit after
that the title changes to match the page I wanted to visit. With
sufficient patience it does actually display the web page.
System load remains very low (<0.1) during all of this.
An strace fragment while it's failing to get anywhere:

I tried erasing ~/.mozilla and reinstalling both iceweasel and dbus, but
the behavior is the same (possibly a little faster but still hopelessly
slow). However a later strace doesn't show any mention of dbus, so it
might well be unrelated.
There is nothing at all relevant-looking in /var/log/kern.log or
/var/log/daemon.log.
