Subject:    Bug#23368: animated gif uses _extreme_ amount of resources

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;-)
