Since installing Dapper Flight 6 last week, I've been plagued by an extremely slow Firefox, though this problem was not present in my previous Dapper install that had, at one point, been Breezy.
When running top, I've found that Xorg tends to take up 60%+ of the CPU with the remaining percentage being devoted to Firefox, or sometimes vice versa.
This prompted me to edit my xorg.conf.
I found that my default config file listed the Device Driver as 'nv' instead of 'nvidia' as it always had been on my machine before I installed Flight 6.
Reading advice in <a href="https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/32561/+index">Bug #32561</a> also prompted me to add MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1 to /etc/environment.
I don't report bugs very often, so I'm not sure on the policy of providing a fix for a problem within the main bug report. :P |

firefox: statusexplanation |

i can confirm this on my edgy testbox & my dapper machine using ubuntu firefox builds & offical firefox builds including 2.0a3 & 3.0 (trunk 7-7-06).
this bug doesn't feel any better under 2.0a3, BUT under 3.0 there were actual noticable improvements AND statistical improvements (from monitoring top).
this bug does feel like the browser has died on slower hardware and ruins the browsing experience under ubuntu. (thanks mum for sending me some great test examples) http://cgi.ebay.com.au/INDIGO-MOON-BEADED-DEVORE-JACKET-BNWT-SIZE-M_W0QQitemZ110004721071QQihZ001QQcategoryZ53367QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
load the site up, and scroll down, xorg cpu usage WILL skyrocket =D and on slower hardware... firefox will feel like it died! |

Proposed workaround: use
Option "AccelMethod" "exa"
in device section of your xorg.conf
