527762 - CPU maxed out by fill="freeze" after the active duration has ended

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: SVG, defect)

Description

[Jonathan Watt [:jwatt]]

I'm seeing the CPU maxed out constantly by SMIL when fill="freeze", even after the active duration has ended. I'll attach a testcase.

There are probably two fixes that are needed here.

 1) Don't resample a frozen animation after it's been frozen

 2) Don't tell elements that they have changed when the animated value
    has not changed since the last sample

Attachment: simple testcase that makes out the CPU

I threw the filter in there just to make the invalidation more expensive so that it's noticeable that we just keep on invalidating the rect continuously.

It's supposed to do that already but I think Daniel's commented that bit out until we add HasChangedTarget. See:

Also, if there are any timing model related issues here then I'd rather just mark it dependent on bug 474743 since that changes the timing model a lot.

Yeah, that's good too. I think that was always the plan but it doesn't look like we're doing it yet.

Bug 533291 will address this part.

Just landed Bug 533291, which fixes this bug in my debug build.  (CPU usage goes back to normal after animation completes.)

Resolving.
