Bug#486082: epiphany-gecko: abnormal CPU load

[Pascal A. Dupuis]

Package: epiphany-gecko
Severity: important


I noticed that since the upgrade on monday 9th or tuesday 10th, the
CPU load has reached very high values. As the platform is a laptop,
this mean high temperature, fan always on, and the like. 

I have around ten tabs opened, all with static content, the only
dynamic is the homepage at fr.news.yahoo.com

Under epiphany, CPU speed is 1Ghz (maximum allowed), and CPU
percentage for epiphany around 75-80 %, a few % for Xorg, the rest
being anecdotic, system not idle at all.

Under mozilla (iceape-browser/sid uptodate 1.1.9-5), CPU speed is
500MHz (minimum speed), CPU percentage for this task mostly absent
from the list, with occasional appearances at 20 %. System idle at 90%.

The only activated extension for both is flashblock. In epiphany,
closing the tab with fr.news.yahoo.com helps a bit, but not that much.

Could you please check ?
