youthoftoday's Journal: Javascript in new /. site hangs Camino

Whenevever I visit article.pl (Read More for any story) my browser hangs for a few seconds whilst a script goes wrong before asking me if I want to terminate the unreponsive script.
I'm using Camino 1.0.2 on Mac OS 10.4.8.
Does anyone get the same problem?

browser hang

I don't know about Camino. For years I've scratched my head at why the front-end capabilities of a web browser (the application file/edit/tool/etc. menus, create a new tab, etc.) can be stalled just because the rendering engine of the web browser is waiting on data. If web page A is taking forever to load, and I open a new tab (or, in earlier years, a new window) then why is the new window effectively hung until page A finishes loading or at least finishes waiting on whatever packet data caused it to hang

I'm either over-bandwidthed or I've not noticed that in any browser in recent memory. Name names?

The issue here is different, however: it's an unrepsonsive script that gets stuck in a loop somewhere. That COULD be an AJAX loop waiting for some XML from the server, which case it's the script's fault not the renderer.

If it were a question of the script not terminating because the data's taking a long time, that's one thing. I think that in this case it's actually a script that hogs resources with a tight loop

Moz, FF, and IE--I can't remember if I ever had the problem with Opera. Maybe you've never had the bandwidth bottleneck.
