GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 602421
Very slow to display a specific website
Last modified: 2012-08-14 11:09:29 UTC
Epiphany 2.28.0 on Ubuntu 9.10 is very very slow to display any page of the website http://sisinmaru.blog17.fc2.com/ Each page of this website takes about 3 minutes to be displayed. In comparison, Firefox takes only 2 or 3 seconds to display the same pages. I can always reproduce this bug since I updated from Epiphany 2.26.1 to Epiphany 2.28.0.
I still have this bug with version 2.30.2. Can I provide more information?
I can confirm this.
The page works perfectly for me with ephy/webkit master. I have flash disabled though, could you try doing that?
I've disabled Flash and all extensions and am still having this issue. Also, I'm not sure this is a related bug, but when some CSS 3 properties (shadow properties for example) are used the scroll is extremely slow.
(In reply to comment #4) > I've disabled Flash and all extensions and am still having this issue. Me too.
I have this problem also. It appears that running certain scripts make epiphany consume 100% cpu load. It happenes on http://www.ubuntu-rs.org/ also, as many other blogs, sites with chinese/japanese encodings etc. It even got stuck while bugzilla searched for a list of unresolved epiphany bugs. I don't have flash installed at all. I had this problem since 2.28 and is still present in 2.30.6
This is likely related to this WebKitGTK+ bug: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42052
This should be fixed by now, reopen if it's not the case.
