            Bug ID: 239934
           Summary: Painfully slow browsing experience
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKitGTK
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

With every update, my webkit-gtk browsing experience gets slower and slower, the libwebkit2gtk and libjavascriptcoregtk get bigger and bigger. Most sites are currently basically unusable. They literally take minutes to load with 100% cpu. The sites I'm visiting haven't functionally changed -- I'm still just looking for TEXT and IMAGES. For example, my bank's website.

Has anyone tested this browser on "older" hardware? For example 2Ghz "single core" ? How tf are 2 GIGAHERTZ not enough to render TEXT and IMAGES?

(I won't even mention how it takes over 24 hours to compile, how some .o files (there are currently ~11,000 in total) take OVER SIX HOURS HERE (with lots of swapping), how I can't compile with -O2 ... I can just barely get by with -O ... and the browser is *completely useless and unusable* without the -O flag. (I did try that :|))

Are there any environment variables or preprocessor flags I could set to speed things up?
