Bug Description

I'm absolutely not sure if it's related to web apps, but since installing them, my desktop is sometimes very slow. So slow that everything is frozen. I can't even switch to another desktop or another application. It never happened before testing the web apps, so I think it's related.

It happens randomly, it's quite hard to reproduce it. I can't say which websites are triggering it. What I noticed is taht bamfdaemon seems to use a LOT of CPU just after the desktop gets frozen (so frozen that even the system monitor or top in a terminal are frozen too...).

what happens in my case is that in chromium (firefox not tested)... after a short while, when opening a link in a new tab then it hangs the whole screen (except mouse). launcher, panel, dash, whatever all freezes. with the time that freeze-time gets longer and longer.

right now using:
unity-webapps 1.9-0precise1
libunity-webapps-chromium 1.9-0precise2
unity-webapps-service 1.9.1-0precise1
etc

restarting session does not solve it, just restarting the whole computer.

what information can i provide? what can i do to help?

I can confirm what Adrian has explained above. It also happens when using Firefox. The whole system just freezes for 10 - 120 secs.

I'm on Quantal
