Note that my (girl)-friend has the same system, only more recently setup
and it does not exhibit the problem. I would bet it is an extremely rare
and obnoxious condition that causes it. I dare suggest it is not really
worth spending time tracking it (gee, recently I've had problems with
slow Mozilla *shutdowns*).

I strongly suspect it comes from src/unix/mimetype.cpp code from wxWin.
There's code there that tries to guess what are the mime types
definitions from *various* source in the system, and guess what, on a
heavily loaded debian sid, there can be many. Strangely, the process of
parsing/analyzing/frobnicating those files takes maybe a longer time
that "could" be...

albeit version 1.0.2 does not shows this on win2k - I didn't test the
snapshot version in that case

minimal, like win2k ?-)

I suspect it is related to the wxWin routines mentioned above, too, as
the strace shows (storm of stat64(), brk(), and fork() )

I hope this helps.
