Re: [SLE] Adobe Reader plugin causes massive CPU usage in SuSE9.1

Hi All,

I have seen that the CPU usage on my SuSE9.1 machine skyrockets whenever the pdf plugin is loaded for Mozilla.

To reproduce this, just go to any website and load a pdf within Mozilla via the plugin method. Run 'top' or 'xosview' and notice the CPU usage.

BTW, this only happens for the plugin - If I save the pdf and invoke from a shell, I don't see the same CPU hogging.

Has anyone else seen this? Is there a workaround/fix for this for SuSE9.1?

Packages: acroread-5.09-4.2 mozilla-1.7.2-9.1

TIA.

Have found the same symptoms here on 2 different boxes running Gentoo using various 2.6 kernels. Only occurs when reading an on-line PDF with mozilla firefox. KN --
