Comment (by cypherpunks):
This is not an issue with JIT simply being too slow, or at least that's
not the only issue. Extremely javascript-heavy webpages that are nearly
unusable without JIT still do not result in this behavior, and it only
applies to some PDF files, even ones which do not seem particularly
complicated. Likewise, for PDF files which do not trigger this hang, the
lack of JIT simply makes them render more slowly. As gk mentioned, the PDF
viewer is blocking the web content process. My guess is that some behavior
changed which results in some element in the file taking up way more CPU
than it needs to, resulting in even simple PDF files hanging the process.
I would eat my hat if this were merely a case of "this is slow for big
PDFs because no JIT".
