Details

An attempt to print the example URL
(http://www.public.iastate.edu/~rllew/chrn1998.html) took ~25mins with the
Xprint module (but this isn't an Xprint module specific issue - Xprint just has
tons of fonts which makes it more worse than for the PS module).

Reducing the number of available fonts significantly reduces the time to print
the pages.

Quick investigation shows that a huge pile of that time is spend in searching
fonts:

jesup - do you see any way to avoid this massive slowdown during reflow ?
Summary: Printing example URL "hangs" on printer devices with many fonts is very slow → Printing example URL on printer devices with many fonts is very slow
Something is horrible wrong here. 
I am getting "hangs" now (it does not finish after 6 hours, I had to kill the
Zilla) with the same stack trace "snapshots" with many many pages (like
http://www.spiegel.de/) - it looks that a checkin busted something...

rods, can you test the example URL on Win32/Mac, please ?

rods:
OK... sorry for the confusion. I fact I had two problems (I found [2] during
debugging of [1]):
1. performance is worse if I add many fonts (this should affect all print
modules incl. PS and Xprint)
2. Xprint module has a "hang" issue due stupid code, I filed bug 102461 for that

Fixing "summary" back to original... this bug is about [1] ...

Mats, is this WFY?
Severity: critical → major
(In reply to comment #8)
My results with a Seamonkey trunk debug build is this:
On http://www.public.iastate.edu/~rllew/chrn1998.html
Print Preview (PP) and PostScript (PS) print to file and printer works
without error. PP takes 3-4 seconds. PS to file takes 20 seconds, 10 before
the progress dialog comes up then another 10 sec. This is slow compared
to printing other pages on this machine (this is on a 3GHz P4).

On http://www.spiegel.de/
PP works fine (3s). PS to file/printer gives error dialog "An unknown error
occurred while printing." - also, in about 1 of 8 attempts I get a hang.

In a Seamonkey 1.8 branch debug build:
On http://www.public.iastate.edu/~rllew/chrn1998.html
PP takes 10 seconds. PS to file 20 sec (10+10 as trunk above).

On http://www.spiegel.de/
PP works fine (3s). PS to file/printer works fine, takes about
7 seconds (3 before the progress dialog to come up, then 4 more).
No hangs or errors.

All tests were done with a clean profile. No extensions/plugins installed.


I believe the error on http://www.spiegel.de/ is a separate problem so
I filed bug 338904.

This bug is about the poor performance when printing the URL
http://www.public.iastate.edu/~rllew/chrn1998.html
which only seems to occur on Linux.
