Spinning beach ball whenever I open Camino 2.0

[Thingmaker]

Whenever I open Camino - Version 2.0Int (1.9.0.15 2009102617) - I get the spinning beachball and can do nothing until it goes away (usually about 1-2 minutes). If I try to force quit the message says "Camino Not Responding". Anyone else getting this?

@Thingmaker: "Reset Camino..." - perhaps it helps

Once it goes away, does Camino function normally?

Please get a sample of the hang: http://caminobrowser.org/documentation/bugzilla/#hang and post it somewhere we can download it (e.g., pastebin.mozilla.org).

Yes, it functions normally after a minute or so of hang time. I will try and get the info and post it.

Do you have any specific page set as the default... it sounds like MAYBE you have a specific page that can cause some beachballing.

[Thingmaker]

It happens on any page I open as the default page.

Also, the spell check no longer works.

Do you happen to have tons of fonts? In the first sample, the main thread is doing a bunch of stuff related to font lookup. The other samples are also doing some font stuff, but they're not as involved.

I do have lots of fonts as I do graphic art quite often. But never had anything like this happen before. It's only since I've started using Camino 2.0.

Do you often enable/disable fonts using Font Book (or any other font manager ?). I think that confuses the ATS font caches under 10.5.

Clearing font-caches may help. Utilities such as Onyx can do it; or if you're confortable with the command line, this article explains how to do it in Terminal.

Gecko 1.9 and up do different (and additional) font lookup at startup, and from what I've read in bugs, there's more of it being done, causing slower startups for users with lots of fonts

I've never disabled any fonts using any method.

Just an update- cleared font caches, changed start up page to blank page, and no resolution to the problem. As discussed in the bug forum (link below), this identical problem was an issue in Firefox until they updated to Gecko 1.9.1 in the latest version of Firefox (3.5.5). It would be lovely if Camino followed suit and solved this issue as it's making working in Camino impossible.

Just out of curiosity, why do you have to re-launch Camino so often? If the problem only occurs on startup, seems to me like the solution is "don't relaunch the browser".
