[dev] [surf] Application renders unresponsive after first keystrokes

Hi all,

Surf is my browser for 6 month (/wo any issue ) and last week the above
issue arose.
When I navigate to any website (js heavy or html only) and begin to
interact with the website via keyboard, the website content renders
unresponsive from 5-20s. After rendering responsive again, it will
steadily happen again and again.
I assume it's an updated dependency which I installed unintentionally,
because I left the surf sources untouched.

Do you have any tips for troubleshooting the above issue?
My first attempt was to debug with gdb, but I'm unshure where to put the
breakpoints.
I think it should be easier to profile it first and spot the component
which freezes the rendering.
Or install different versions of webkit?
I'm happy for any pointers :)

I hope it's okay to ask a question like this here, I don't want misuse
the mailer as suckless support hotline :D

Best and thanks,
Chris
