Description Danny Tholen 2001-03-30 20:34:43 UTC
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           khtml
Version:           KDE 2.1.1 
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
Compiler:          gcc 2.95.3 (prerelease from mandrake)
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: kernel 2.4.2 (but I think same trouble on 2.2.17)

This is an intriging bug. There is something
seriously wrong with rendering a page containing a couple of animated gifs (try
carolina.mailmij.org). When using mozilla
the User load (according to ksysguard) after
the loading is about 10 % when viewing the
page with konqueror the load is over 90%!!!
System load is extreme as well. It appears that the maximum possible processor time is used just to draw the gifs!

BTW I discovered this bug when using Quanta after a while my mortherboard would start beeping and lm_sensors told me my processor heat was over 57 degrees C. Guess I should buy
a new fan but it illustrates the kind of load khtml generates. In quanta this becomes especially noticable because once you
preview the page and go back editing the CPU load does not drop (so khtml prolly stays active somewhere). I do not know whether this is a bug in Quanta but maybe any of you knows.

Silly bug will completly slow down a system when viewing pages with _many_ animated gifs.

Good luck with KDE 2.2 (damn takes a long time if possible send me a patch for 2.1.1;-)
