104429 - plaintext mail filter log files from nc4 torture mozilla (large text file slow to load)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 72885

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[timeless]

url is 6mb bz2 compressed file. steps: get file, bunzip2, output will be a 100mb
mailfilt.log file (generated over the course of a few years of nc4 mail filter
logging -- mostly of the file size is bugzilla and a few other active groups).

The file takes about 200mb of memory to load, which is really not bad, the
problem is that it takes a very long time to load.  In one of my mozilla builds
i saw lots of reflow spew to the console.

Is there any difference between loading this 100mb file and any other 100mb
file? Yea, we suck on large text files - see bug 72885, which this is likely a
dup of.

This is slightly different in that this is text/plain instead of text/html, and
thus none of the additional factors like unclosed <font> or <p> come into the
picture.  Still, it's basically the same I'm sure.
