1031912 - Forget already-parsed SWF bytes

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox Graveyard :: Shumway, defect)

Description

[Till Schneidereit [:till]]

Currently, we always append bytes to the SWF buffer when they're loaded instead of forgetting the ones we already parsed. Ideally, instead of resizing the buffer when it becomes to small, we'd first check if moving all unread bytes to the buffer's beginning would mean that enough space would be left at the end again.

In a certain game I'm profiling, we're creating a 16MB parsing buffer, where probably something like 512kb or even less would suffice.

Marking as invalid in favor of bug 1035170, which is the much better solution for this.
