webkitgtk{,2} + spotify = pretty sluggish behaviour

Hi,

in dwb resp. dwb-git, I experience some annoying lagging using the spotify webplayer – with Firefox or Chromium, everything's fine on spotify, so I guess this might not be a hardware/compositing/whatever issue, but caused by dwb + flash or something like that…

Anybody who could confirm or disconfirm this, please? Or is it likely not to be a dwb, but a classic webkit related problem? But why isn't Chromium affected then?

I can confirm this with surf + spotify, so you should change the topic to webkitgtk + spotify.

Do you use dwb with webkitgtk or webkitgtk2? Maybe give dwb-gtk3-git a try.

Thanks for confirming, title's changed.

I'm using webkitgtk2 at the moment, cause dwb-git pulls it in as dependency. I lately also tried dwb-gtk3{,-git}, but I didn't notice any real improvements...
