102703 - If single-profile, good old fast QuickLaunch (0.9.3-style) should be used instead new one

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: QuickLaunch (AKA turbo mode), defect)

Description

[Alek Kowalczyk]

In most modern Windows (NT, 2k, XP, even 98/Me) different users have different
system accounts and do use only ONE profile (thanks to multi mail accounts :-) )

I think, Mozilla should detect that current user has one profile and run good,
old, terribly fast Quick Launch Mode; new one is great but in my system (384M,
Celeron 366) runs Mozilla in seconds - while the old one run in miliseconds.

Such detection could be done dynamic on each system login, or a special
sub-checkbox under "Enable Quick Launch Mode" (e.g. "Use single-profile
YetMoreQuick Launch Mode"), available if single-profile detected.

What do You thing about it? Those old -turbo REALLY blasted Mozilla :-) and
don't loose it !

Alek, what build are you using?  Are you using one that's recent enough to have
the "regain performance lost when we made -turbo support multiple profiles"
patch?
