My strace shows Firefox looping getting thousands of poll() followed by
"read()-1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)" errors. This is
nothing new - Firefox did the same thing under Ubuntu 8.10 last year.
(Last year I think there were more time syscalls in the mix, and the
looping would occasionally eat 100% of the CPU until I killed Firefox
and restarted it.)

ubuntu karmic firefox 3.5.4 slow on ecryptfs

Bug description:
Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

Firefox 3.5.4 is incredibly slow running on ubuntu 9.10 karmic, fresh install, ext4 filesystem, ecryptfs encrypted home directory.  This seems to be peculiar to firefox; konqueror is normal, applications other than firefox are normal.  Firefox performs normally for a different user with an ordinary unencrypted home directory.
