Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.5
Firefox 3.5.4 is incredibly slow running on ubuntu 9.10 karmic, fresh install, ext4 filesystem, ecryptfs encrypted home directory. This seems to be peculiar to firefox; konqueror is normal, applications other than firefox are normal. Firefox performs normally for a different user with an ordinary unencrypted home directory.

I forgot to mention that while firefox is being slow (2-5 minutes to load pages that konqueror loads in 2-5 seconds), CPU utilization is normal. It's not running away with CPU or memory. I haven't had time to study the disk I/O pattern yet.
