24822 - Incremental loading for text files

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 39368

(Core :: Layout, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Sitsofe Wheeler]

At the moment, Mozilla doesn't seem to support the incremental loading of text
files. This is useful for very large pieces of text. I know most text loads
quickly but on slow connections this could be handy.

Reproduced with: 
2000-01-24-01-M13 nightly binary on Windows NT 4.0sp3.
2000-01-24-08-M14 nightly binary on Windows NT 4.0sp3.

If text/html displays incrementally, text/plain should too, no?

Changing component from "Browser-General" to "Layout", although this could be
possibly "Networking".

Everything should be incremental, but maybe there's something funny with the way 
text files work. Re-assigning to Kipp's bug list

with asynch reflow enabled, this is pretty fast.  I'll look into it further post 
beta.

Has this been fixed? I notice that moz is now showing the page incremently even
when the progress bar at the bottom is <100%...

This is probably faster after Vidur's text related changes to the HTML content 
sink.  Currently, we don't do async reflow during document load.  Once that 
changes post beta 2, this page should become more incremental.  I'll mark this 
bug a dup of bug 39368 (enable async reflow during doc load) which is currently 
assigned to me.
