Mozilla animations

[LocNar]

Hi. I have a question. Under Win 98 SE, if I use Mozilla 1.2, I notice some serious slowdown with animations. For example, I go to www.foetus.org, and the animations are slow. If I partially cover the animation, it speeds up. This effect doesn't happen with Internet Exploder (the animation runs a lot faster.) So, it's not my hardware (AMD 1900+, Radeon 8500, 512 MB ram.) Is there any setting that can be adjusted in Mozilla to change this? Does Moz 1.3 handle this better? What's the deal?

Note: I'm sure I'll get responses like "Obviously, you're having problems because you're running Windows, FUCKHEAD!!"

So, let's assume that's already been said. Does anyone know why Moz is slowing down for such a simple animation on a fast machine (especially compared with IE.)

Danke.

Sorry the comma got place in that link www.foetus.org

Ok. Now something weird happened and Mozilla has sped up the animation. Dohh!!

I think I can explain.

Unlike IE, Mozilla reads an animation frame-by-frame, and displays the current frame until the next one loads. After the animation has been (completely) loaded, it will run faster and cache the animation.
