           Summary: PERFORMANCE: BBC Historic Figures page takes a long time
                    to render
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 522+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh
               URL: http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: NeedsReduction
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2

* SUMMARY
Opening the BBC History Figures page in Safari/WebKit takes much longer than it
should.  Both Firefox 2.0.0.6 and Opera 9.21 are easily 2x faster.

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch Safari/WebKit.
2. Go to URL:  http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/

* RESULTS
The page takes around 10 seconds to load on a Quad G5 with the Safari 3 Public
Beta v. 3.0.3.  The same page takes about 2 seconds on Firefox or Opera.

* REGRESSION
Not tested with Safari 2.0.4 (419.3), so unknown if this is a regression.
