Large performance regression in v112 on Linux

more options

Using noVNC to access a wired LAN host on Linux using Firefox v111 uses ~5% CPU on an AMD 5600X. Upgrading to Firefox v112 causes CPU utilization in the exact same use case to jump to ~35% with spikes over 70%. Additionally the responsiveness drops dramatically, and is difficult to use. I've tried a completely new profile with the default settings, and the results are the same. I've reverted back to v111 for the moment.

I saw that v113 became available. I tested the CPU again in the same way on v111: 5%. I upgraded to v112: ~35-50%. I upgraded again to v113: 5%. Problem solved.

I can't in good conscience mark this as "resolved". Nothing was specifically done to address the issue, and the release notes for v113, at least to my visibility, don't suggest there was a related fix either. At best this is "in remission" and not "cured".

Testing was always done in a new/empty profile with default settings, no cache, no other open tabs. In every case, there was at least 12Gb memory available.
