Version: 3.5.5 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux When locally viewing an animated gif, cpu usage is nearly 100% (konqueror and Xorg processes both about 50%). When i alt-tab so that the window is not visible, animation continues. What is the real problem is that after leaving the page (alt-left or back or up in toolbar), konqueror continues to consume about the same percentage of cpu and it increases with each new view of another gif. It seems to me as if it does not stop the animation. Gifs are grayscale 512x512 with about 100 frames and 5mb, created by convert. Fiferox display same gifs with less than 15% (including both firefox-bin and Xorg processes) which what i would expect of konqueror.
I encounter the same problem. This is on a thin client system, so as soon as the cpu reaches 100%, no one (14 or more people) can't continue to work. This is a big problem indeed. But I just tried to reproduce the problem with some animated gifs, but now the system continues to operate fine. Can you provide an example animated gif, that results in the problem that you described. Hmm, I just reread your describtion; I don't have such big animated gifs, it happens with smaller ones and perhaps with just regular gifs. So far I was not able to write a bug report, as I don't have the information available for a bug report.
Here is an example, of a two animated gifs. Both produce 100% cpu usage during 'playback', but only the second one is evil enough two continue eating up processor after leaving the page. http://linux.plankton.tk/ex.gif http://linux.plankton.tk/exx.gif The difference between the two is that the first one is produced by conversion from gifs and the second one from pngs.
Can't reproduce with KDE 3.5.5, SUSE Linux 10.1.
Can't reproduce in konqueror svn trunk r807691 (20080507), it only consumes 15% Xorg and 4% konqueror in a PII 200Mhz.
I can't reproduce it either, in kde 3.5.9 or trunk r810100. Closing.
