With 2.0.0.8 on i386/4.0 RC[123] and -current it's easily hangable: Just open
one of your bookmark folders with 12+ entries simultaneously (i.e.
middle-click on the bookmark folder). Zapp! Bye. I'm used to clicking my
'breakfast' links one-by-one in the meantime because rather slow breakfast
than none at all. (native X, with or without extensions -- it just dies).
On a side note, it's using one cpu solely even on -current. *sniff* just
one process for the 1:1 threads...
