The test using the scragz page was attempted on the same hardware/OS using the Firefox 1.0.6 from mozilla.org to compare against the Fedora version. It was found that the mozilla.org version performed as per expectations (established by other browsers). I also tried Mozilla (from Fedora) and found it a bit slower, but its speed too was in the desired ballpark: Mozilla Firefox 1.0.6 on FC4 8.19 FC4 Mozilla 1.7.10 11.46 This is also a good confirmation that the problem is not specific to my profile, as the mozilla.org Firefox is using the same ~/.mozilla/firefox profile as the Fedora version. I get 68 seconds on FC4 firefox. Another report from test list says: 4 sec using fc4 firefox 2 sec using fc4 konqueror might be related to pango ... try with disabled pango.. Don't know if its relevant, but just another piece of information... The "Help, About Mozilla Firefox" page shows the following for the FC4 version: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050720 Fedora/1.0.6-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.6 It shows the following for the mozilla.org version: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6 Notice the Gecko version difference. Another data point: Running http://scragz.com/tech/mozilla/test-rendering-time.php on a fully-updated FC4 system I get: firefox-1.0.6-1.1.fc4: 7.78 mozilla-1.7.10-1.5.1: 3.90 My system is P4 @2.4GHz and 1GB RAM. No extensions installed in Firefox. Now, I know that 7.78 doesn't come close to 42, but Firefox shouldn't take twice as long to render as Mozilla, should it? Same test, same versions of the software above, this time on a P3 @ 933MHz and 768MB of RAM: firefox-1.0.6-1.1.fc4: 15.34 mozilla-1.7.10-1.5.1: 7.72 FYI. On Pentium M 1 GHz: firefox-1.0.6-1.1.fc4: 11 seconds mozilla-1.7.10-1.5.1: 5 seconds 16.99999949359blahblahblah. And Firefox froze while it was doing it. Konqueror did it in 9, without freezing. Mozilla did it in 4, without freezing. Epiphany took 9... and didn't freeze. Firefox on FC3, 1. I still have this problem on Fedora Core 5, with Firefox 1.5.0.6. Firefox 1.5.0.6 (from mozilla.org): 7.87 Firefox 1.5.0.6 (RPM): 22.1 Fedora Core 5 is no longer supported, could you please reproduce this with the updated version of the currently supported distribution (Fedora Core 6, or Fedora 7, or Rawhide)? If this issue turns out to still be reproducible, please let us know in this bug report. If after a month's time we have not heard back from you, we will have to close this bug as CANTFIX. Setting status to NEEDINFO, and awaiting information from the reporter. Thanks in advance. This problem seems to be resolved in f7 and rawhide, at least for me. Since I am the original reporter I will close this bug as CURRENTVERSION / f7. |
