Bug Description

Whenever I open midori, the CPU shoots up to 100% and the entire OS (11.10 with pantheon) becomes laggy and slow. Even dragging a window (including other windows besides midori) becomes extremely laggy.

midori: 0.4.2+r4368-0~oneiric1
libwebkitgtk-1.0-common: 1.6.1-5~oowkt1
libwebkitgtk-3.0-common: 1.6.1-5~oowkt1
libwebkitgtk-3.0-0: 1.6.1-5~oowkt1
libwebkitgtk-1.0-0: 1.6.1-5~oowkt1

Note that all though graphically the system becomes very laggy, the browser itself (and other applications) still works nromally (and midori loads pages really fast, wow!).

great work otherwise,
sgringwe
