233341 - Random performance deficits

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Ozan Ayyüce]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

Regardless of the visited web page, open tabs, other programs and process priority annoying performance deficits occur randomly.
The most striking one is bad scrolling when using pagedown/pageup, space, and the mousewheel when it is configured to page scrolling. When pushing pageup/pagedown, one part of appr. 10% of the viewpane is updated to the new view and appr. 1 second after this the rest is updated. Strangely, when clicking in the scrollbar once, the view is updated without any delay.
Further occasions of bad performance are switching to Mozilla from another task and switching to a different tab, with each neeing 1 second to draw the viewpane.
Without the error occuring these actions are all performed instantly. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
The error occurs randomly when browsing, but reliably often.
Even without any other action than scrolling the view via pgup/pgdn keys the behaviour of Mozilla can change from delayless scrolling to the behaviour described above.
Actual Results:  
Drawing of the viewpane is delayed for appr. 1 second.

Expected Results:  
Delayless drawing.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
