102973 - have one, central C++ folder listener, and have all JS based listeners register with it in a way to minimize times a folder event goes across XPConnect (and copies strings)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 104252

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

have one, central C++ folder listener, and have all JS based listeners register 
with it in a way to minimize times a folder event goes across XPConnect (and 
copies strings)

this would be for performance.

I want to measure how costly our folderListener is in msgMail3PaneWindow.js
(and messageWindow.js)

first of all, it gets notified on any folder change, and then decides to ignore 
unless it's certain types (like OnItemIntPropertyChanged) and that change is 
for our currently selected folder.

the problem with that design is we have to cross XPConnect (and copy strings!) 
a whole bunch more than we really need to.

what I'd want to do is this:

have one central listener, in C++, and have things register with it, especially 
the js listeners, so that we only cross xp connect in the minimal case.

to test this theory, we'd remove the listener and see if there was any 
performance gain, to see if persuing this would be worth it.

this affects multiple 3 pane and having multiple stand alone msg windows open, 
as having those windows opens means we have more listeners, and more windows 
that get notified on events that they just ignore.

the fix for #104252 accomplishes what this was intended to do.
