274944 - slow render speed

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Richard de Rivaz]

The table at the above url takes twice as long to render as in the Ibrowse
browser running on Amithlon with the same X86 hardware.

I'm curious: assuming you control that page, and assuming it's auto-generated so
you can move stuff around without too much trouble, how much speed difference is
there if it's not so invalid? If you remove the <var></var>, and move the
<form></form> inside the <td> rather than outside, do we speed up?

I have altered the html code by moving the form tags within the td and changing var to a remark. This file is http://www.candg.org/products3.html
There is a problem in that firefox will now not display the table.

I have uploaded a third file http://www.candg.org/parts4.html which has resolved the problem of Firefox not rendering the table (this was due to a space in a remark).

The speed comparisons are Ibrowse 10.5 seconds, Firefox 20.3 seconds, IE 46.5 seconds - all on the same hardware. Firefox takes more than 40 seconds to rerender the page with a reduced size font.

Profile shows nothing out of the ordinary -- just the typical 1.3MB-of-HTML page.

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.
