Description matanya 2012-07-27 11:11:23 UTC
If you enable Mathjax and webfonts, it takes good several seconds to render the page correctly.

how to reproduce:

1) go to https://or.wikipedia.org and choose a webfont
2) change in preference the math render to mathjax 
3) open https://or.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics

I'm using a relatively new computer (less than a year old) with 6GB ram and a core i5, with Ubuntu 12.04 on firefox 14. This souldn't take so long on such hardware.  

On chrome it is worse.

I don't understand, do you mean that on wikis *without* webfonts it's not as slow? Or how do you know it's webfonts?
Subhashish and matanya, is this still a problem with ULS, which is going to replace webfonts in the next few days? You can test at http://beta.wmflabs.org

I can not find anything math related at http://beta.wmflabs.org
