1385604 - Sync big data takes hours with using high memory and one core

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1339390

(Firefox :: Sync, enhancement)

Description

[Tobias B. Besemer [:BesTo] (QA)]

On my machine (Win7, 64-bit), sync big data (thousand of bookmarks and history) takes hours with using high memory and one core.

Guess it shouldn't take hours and never finfish...

What kind of more data can I give for analyze?

Can someone try to sync big data to a new profile and verify my problem?

How many bookmarks? Up to ~10k bookmarks it should work, but it also depends on how the bookmarks are structured - bug 1339390 is the most likely cause. To be sure, can you please follow the instructions at https://wiki.mozilla.org/CloudServices/Sync/File_a_desktop_bug and enable "success" logs, then attempt the sync again and upload any logs?

This is showing at least 19k bookmarks, which is pushing the limits of what we can handle (and note the 95th percentile of bookmark counts for users is just 1.5k, and only 0.75% of users have > 8k). However, each of the logs show Firefox being shutdown during the sync - if you wait long enough, you may find it succeeds, or may find we then strike bug 1339390. I'm really not sure how actionable this is though - there's always going to be some limit where we struggle.

But why is it so slow and needs hours (with high resources)?

After some minutes it use high resources and when the browser gets unresponsible (after a long time), I shut him down...
