Description

[Bob Clary [:bc:]]

There was a regression in throbber start around 2014-08-13 - 2014-08-14. It occurs for cached and non cached results and all tests. It is most apparent on the nexus-s devices and the local tests.

It appears to have been introduced on fx-team in the range:

This points to Bug 1042238  Flip on Chromecast confvars by default. You can see it move to the other branches as merges occur.

It is more dramatic when viewing a longer date range:

I'll try to get a Java profile and see if any casting code shows up (none should).... maybe the larger apk size is just making startup longer?
