101870 - page load tests get progressively slower with subsequent runs in the same session

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

based off my 2001-09-26 18:28 comments in bug 101838.

using 2001.09.25.20-trunk comm bits on Mac OS 10.0.4 [384M ram, 450Mhz G3], i
found that if i ran the page load tests during the same browser session, each
run got slower and slower.

1st run: ave page load=2879ms
2nd run: ave page load=3908ms
3rd run: ave page load=5486ms

alas, i didn't get the mem usage on those runs...

let me know if you'd like these run again [i could provide mem info], along with
the report data.

this is a regression --to compare with a couple runs [same session] i had done
last week using the 2001.09.18.20-trunk comm bits:

1st run, ave page load=2366ms
2nd run, ave page load=2355ms

Yes. You'll notice after a few runs through the page loading tests that the UI 
becomes very slow to update, and you'll see the spinning cursor a lot.

I'm currently investigating whether this is a regression from bug 71718.

[gack, weird bugzilla collision allowed me to kinda redundantly post my last
comments]

ugh, to wit: ignore the data in 2001-09-26 19:24. the more recent one has the
correct data. apologies for da spam.

sfraser and I were discussing whether this was akin to bug 93603. Maybe, 
maybe not (sorry, I'm just in the process of catching up on the past week).
