1818798 - Add a performance test that verifies the impact of speculative connect

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Performance, enhancement, P2)

Description

[Andrew Creskey [:acreskey]]

In Bug 1813618 discovered that most speculative connections are being aborted on desktop platforms.

In Bug 1814389 we will revisit our functional tests to ensure that they correctly verify that speculation connections are being made.

This bug is to create a performance test that verifies the impact of a "real world" speculative connect.

Possibly we can script keystrokes into the url bar and measure the time to first byte.
Or simulate a mouse-down on a dom element and measure the timing.
