chromium-16.0.912.77: gui freezes when waiting for network

[Yuri]

Hi,

This version of chromium on FreeBSD has this annoying quality that very 
often while waiting for network gui becomes frozen. Sometimes with the 
"busy" cursor. Scrollbars not working, links not working.
I compared with Ubuntu, it currently has exactly the same version of 
chromium, and gui is much more responsive there. I don't see such severe 
problem there.

I understand browser as a state machine. It always waits for something, 
network, user interaction or screen repaint, but while waiting other 
parts should be functional. Any time network operation is pending gui 
should show whatever is available by that time.

Looks like chromium is broken in this respect.

chromium-16.0.912.77
FreeBSD-9.0 amd64
Ubuntu (current) 64bit
