[Bug 864727] Re: Gwibber failing to start, or starting very very slowly

 

I opened bug "Gwibber in Oneiric is completely unusable" number #876840.
The bug description was deliberately vague.
But now I made a video of what I meant for "unusable": 3 minutes of 100% CPU on an AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ × 2 to open and display twitter messages.
Please take a look.
Thanks for your work
