Comment 4 for bug 372456

Well, I'm also affected, I just didn't wan't to give a 'me too' reaction. Almost the same netbook with a 900 MHz celeron processor (eeepc 900).

With too much networks in the area it is almost impossible to browse the networks. I don't think disabling animated bars is a good solution, my microwave oven has enough computing power to animate multiple bars at once. _My_guess_ is that the coding for the bars is just insanely bad. Maybe it's a good idea to report this bug to the Gnome developers? I'm not sure about the best way to do this and who to inform.
