CPU usage on loading URL

Post by merlin@blackpalace.com »

using Mozilla 1.6b on W2K. 1.8Ghz w/512Mb RAM. Installed Moz 1.6b and only two major issues. First one detailed here.
Using CTRL-L to input a URL, cursor jumps to location bar, input first "w" and system stops.... for 8-15 seconds, CPU meter shows 100% usage, then, it drops and I regain control of Mozilla. Tried deleting history, changing cache sizes, and deleting info in location bar... no avail.... any suggestions?

not terribly helpful.

the possibility exists that 1.6 version requires different settings in a pref file, or possibly a known problem with a certain cache or history setting. Issues like this have to be discussed and solved for the software products to advance. I've been using beta software as a registered beta tester for more than 15 different companies spanning more than 20 years in the industry. Normally I've solved all my own issues but this one I haven't been able to work around, hence my very first post in a Mozilla group, and I've been using Mozilla since it's inception.
Thanks for the lack of help. I'll remember not to use this group again.
