Browser Support • Unfortunately, PaleMoon does not perform well under CPU load

I'm using the latest PaleMoon on my custom Linux distro. Unfortunately, performance of this browser is very poor compared to Chromium or WebKit. The main problem is long (3-5+ second) pauses, especially when there's any kind of background disk or CPU activity. Otherwise it's great, and is a nice blast from the past. I'd love to use it more if/when the threading model is improved. Thanks for your work on PaleMoon.
