I know nothing behind the standard that is "GIF". But am i the only one who thinks its completely unreasonable that a few GIF's can turn my browser into a 5fps mess? How is there not a better option for this?
- chris_wot 14y agoIf that's a reproducible issue, have you considered filing a bug?
- jug6ernaut 14y agoI assumed this was widely known/accepted. Never considers filing a bug, i assume you mean for the browser right?
- CaveTech 14y agoAre you sure you're not referring to animated GIFs? The slow FPS rate occurs as they load, and is contained to the GIF itself. Surely a static GIF would not reduce your browser FPS.
- Dylan16807 14y agoDon't be so sure it's a loading issue. I very often have animated gifs play very laggily the first time they run, even when they were already fully downloaded. And across multiple browsers I have seen issues playing gifs smoothly when there is anything else in the browser using CPU.
- charonn0 14y agoI've experienced this under Firefox, and on hardware that has no excuse for breaking a sweat on any webpage. It's usually pages where there are a large number of animated GIFs (e.g. [1]) Once all the GIFs are loaded and complete one animation cycle, everything's fine.

- nollidge 14y agoI think that's unreasonable, especially because it's never happened to me in recent memory.
- pablasso 14y agoMaybe not 5PFS but happens to me too when page has many gifs.
