           Summary: Safari brings system to a crawl when dropped a large
                    video file
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 412+
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Plug-ins and Java
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at opendarwin.org
        ReportedBy: mjc at kernel.org


Steps to reproduce:

Drag avi file that is 50% larger than the maximum amount of swappable RAM to safari window.

Test case: PowerBook G4, 512MB (150MB available after maximum amount swapped)

Result:  System took over an hour to open the quicktime plugin.  Machine and all open applications wwere 
unusable.

Suggestion for fix: try not loading the whole file into memory...when it's just going to be passed to QT
