Here is a graph showing the problem:

Here is a bit more about responsiveness:

I did some retriggers to help filter out any noise in the values:

Might be related to bug 881590?

this is a really old bug, but the regression is still valid:
http://graphs.mozilla.org/graph.html#tests=%5B%5B275,53,37%5D%5D&sel=none&displayrange=365&datatype=running

we have shipped with this, I am not sure if we should do anything else here.

Tim, thoughts?  shall we close this?

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand this graph. Is higher better here?

Comment 6

[Joel Maher ( :jmaher ) (UTC -8)]

higher is worse, we want responsiveness to be low.  This is quite an old issue by now.
