After fixing bug 1160811 locally, I get this error a bunch in the console while recording octane:

Works:
test.apply(null, new Array(500000).join("x").split("x"))

Throws:
test.apply(null, new Array(500001).join("x").split("x"))

Pushing boundaries over here.
And recording-model.js:377:9 looks like this:

> Array.prototype.push.apply(this._allocations.frames, frames);

I think we need to just do a for loop + individual push. I think there shouldn't be any perf difference after ion gets its hands on it.

We already have Array.prototype.concat (which we definitely don't want to use because it creates a new copy) so this wording is a little misleading because of that. How about "Push all elements of src (nee array2) to dest (nee array1)" instead of using the word "concatenates".

Re "causes merge to throw": the whole point of this merge function is to avoid *push* throwing, so this merge function had better *not* throw.

I think you can reword this sentence explaining why we do things this way as "Using Array.prototype.push.apply fails when the arguments array is very large, so instead push one at a time and trust in the JIT to make it equivalently speedy. See bug 1166823."

Can we rename this `pushAll(dest, src)`? That's a lot more clear to me, as a reader.

Approval Request Comment
[Feature/regressing bug #]: 1167252, the new performance tool
[User impact if declined]: Won't ship the performance tool
[Describe test coverage new/current, TreeHerder]: There are try pushes in Bug 1167252 with all patches needing uplift
[Risks and why]: Requesting uplift for the accumulated changes in the performance tool since the 40 merge date, so these changes haven't had the full 6 weeks to bake.  Risks are generally contained within devtools, specifically within the performance panel.
[String/UUID change made/needed]: None
