I've been experiencing slow rendering (mostly with large images) and random
crashing with the gecko-based browsers on 3.9 on AMD64. Same browsers on 64
bit linux behave properly and are snappy. The network is not at fault for
the slow rendering. I've been unable to stick my finger on what is causing
the slow rendering (common) as compared to the crashing (about once
every 25
minutes or so.) A page will load correctly in one instance, and then loaded
again can crash the browser. No errors are dumped in the term.
I suspect this is some conflict with Gecko-20060303 and mmap'ed malloc
(only
grounds for this is a vanilla linux which is a whole different ball
park.) I
don't have a 3.8 box handy to see what verion of Gecko those era browsers
were using. But its a fair guess to say it was not Gecko-20060303 =).
The offending browsers which I have used are mozilla-1.7.12p11,
galeon-1.3.21p3 (galeon only renders slowly, no crashes,)
mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.3, and mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.2, all of which are
using
Gecko-20060303.
Has anyone else seen this or am I just crazy?
As always, lynx works like a charm, sans the fact there are no pretty
pictures. =(

I use openbsd/amd64 3.9 as a "desktop" box, and I don't experience any
of your problems with mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.1.
