151637 - overall slowdown in pref window open and panel switching

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

Description

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

there's been an increase in time for Pref window open and panel switching --at
least comparing data from 5/21 and 6/4 with previous data. both trunk and branch
appear affects, and all platforms --esp win98 and linux rh7.3.

what could've caused this degradation in performance?

i know there's bug 146831, and the page that's being viewed when i run the tests
is http://home.netscape.com/. however, would it be relevant to this issue?

uhm... this will be hard to figure out, unless we can narrow down to the exact
date when it happened.  Thay way, we can look through check-in logs and see for
suspecious check-ins.

sairuh, can you help narrow down to the exact date, when regression occurred?

btw, looks like fix for 146831 is checked into the trunk on 6/11, can we verify
if trunk regression is fixed?  if it is, pref window open/panel switching could
have been the side effect of bug 146831

Looking at the tinderbox graphs, some boxes shot up around then, some dropped
way down.  Still not sure about this.
