Comment 25 for bug 968533

This bug describes a menu performance problem encountered in 13.04 when a browser is run with many hundreds of bookmarks.

An additional menu performance problem regarding multiple applications was introduced in Saucy Salamander and a fix for 13.10 has not yet been found. This new problem compounds the existing bookmark-related problem, and is tracked under bug #1199877.

We prefer to keep separate bugs separate, rather than mix multiple (potentially) unrelated problems together into a single bug report, because it makes tracking them and their consequent fixes much easier. Less time spent on administrative issues means more time spent on actual bug fixes.

It may turn out that both bugs have the same cause and software fix. We won't know until we fix one (or the other). Work is indeed ongoing.
