79765 - build preloader into mozilla binary

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Alec Flett]

As discussed in the performance meeting, I'm building rickg's preloader features
into the mozilla binary.
I'm going to leverage bill law's existing -server command line option

[Alec Flett]

adding dependancy
as a part of this, I needed to rework some of the CMDLINE* macros so that I
could write my own registration procedures. about to attach the patches, already
sr=sspitzer..


nominating for nsbeta1 or rtm or whatever it ends up as.

Attachment: command line macros modified, sr=sspitzer

Comment 3

[Alec Flett]

after talking with vishy, we've agreed that this isn't going to be ready in time
for nsbeta1.

The current status is that I should be able to land everything today once bill
lands his fixes to bug 75599. I have some minor updates that will load more dlls
than the initial version I checked into the trees...

Alec, how are we doing on this? and how are we integrating with Bill's mozilla 
-turbo stuff that landed?

nav triage team:

There are a bunch of -turbo bugs, wouldn't it be a better use of our time to 
focus on those issues? In other words, are we going to hold mozilla0.9.2 for 
this?

Comment 7

[Viswanath Ramachandran]

we're going to focus our resources short term on working through the -turbo mode
stuff and ironing out the details of that. hence moving the mozilla - preloader
work to m1.0. 

Comment 8

[Paul Chen]

nav triage team:

most of our current focus is on improving -turbo mode, moving out to future
