Hello,
several people have observed slow browser behavior in version 3.9, in
particular that browsers get slower the more of them you open [1].
Benchmarks showed that things were faster in 3.8 [2]. Jerome Peace
narrowed it down to 3.9 alpha, between 6684 and 6686. I have seen the
slowdownn disappear when switching off rounded window corners in my
3.9.1 dev image, see [1] for details.
So for now, if you want faster screen updates with multipe browsres
open, do not use rounded window corners:
Preferences disable: #roundedWindowCorners.
thanks to everyone who helped with this.
