Something lags like mad (Pentium 100 MHz style) in WalrusIRC right now

[DJ Omnimaga]

Something lags like mad in WalrusIRC right now. When I scroll through the chat on my computer and Nexus 5, it scrolls like if I was using a Pentium 100 MHz with 16 MB of RAM. Could there be something in the chat or code or server issues that are causing this? Because I had this happen since the last few hours or so on any Internet connection.

The lag always seems to happen around those lines:

I blame the 8000x6000 white image being posted directly on the image uploader.

Fun fact: a 10000x10000 image viewed in Internet Explorer 6 could BSoD some old computers with a certain graphic card with a bug in the driver so it's theorically possible WalrusIRC would cause a BSoD.

[DJ Omnimaga]

Oh, that could be it. >.< Mind making WalrusIRC only display images that are under a certain width/height or adding an option to disable automatic image display? It might also be good to remove the http/www from that particular image link to prevent lag.

That reminds me of a (now fixed) bug which would cause Xorg to crash when displaying huge images in Firefox on the open source Radeon driver.

[DJ Omnimaga]

Yeah I think I read something like that before, but it involved Internet Explorer IIRC.
