Description Henk 2010-11-15 02:22:15 PST 
Safari (5.0.2, OSX 10.6.5) freezes for several seconds while loading the main Flash banner.

The page loads instantly on a PC in the same network.

I could reproduce this once in Safari 5.0.2, but it won't happen again - even after emptying Safari cache, deleting webpage previews folder, and building WebCore between attempts.

Comment 4 Henk 2010-11-16 00:20:26 PST 
It seems that Flash is freezing while trying to open the firewire DV sequence grabber.

Flash Camera & Microphone security is set to deny.
Selected Camera: Google Camera Adapter 0

Steps to reproduce:

Quit Safari
Connect the ADVC110
Launch Safari
Goto: http://www.logitech.com/nl-nl/home
Result: ~10 second freeze

Quit Safari
Disconnect the ADVC110
Launch Safari
Goto: http://www.logitech.com/nl-nl/home
Result: No freeze

Some observations:

The freezes started after installing 10.6.5
Uninstalling & reinstalling the latest Flash version makes no difference.
Resetting Safari makes no difference.
Also reproducible with an EyeTV610 (FireWire DV tuner)

This certainly doesn't sound like a WebKit issue at this point. Would you mind filing this via <http://bugreport.apple.com> instead?

What I could "reproduce" once is clearly something different.

You are correct, I can also reproduce it with Chrome.

Thank you! Since this is not a WebKit issue, marking the bug as INVALID now.
