27574 - Frames loading is very slow

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Images, Video, and HTML Frames, defect, P3)

Description

[Jens Glaser]

I notice that the display of pages with frames is _significantly_ slower
on my Linux box than with Communicator 4 (about 2-3 times).

The delay appears to occur when mozilla is spawning additional WEBSHELLs.

The URL http://www.lvz.de (click on logo) demonstrates this. Normal pages are
okay if not faster than with nav4.

build 2000021110 was used!

Reassigning to Travis.

I think this will be sped up when each frame isn't creating nearly as many 
native widgets.  Setting as a dependency on the bug to remove the excess 
nativeWidgets.

Could be related to bug 39554.

I have 2000061611 and have noticed it's a bit slower, as this describes.

Reassigning all travis bugs to Valeski for triage. Don thought these were
all docshell related. Travis is no longer at netscape so these bugs are
unowned.

I'm reassigning 23 bugs to Valeski right now. To search for them,
search for "BUGSFORMERLYKNOWNASTRAVIS" in the description. The url below 
should work.

[Judson Valeski]

is this still a problem?

Comment 8

[Kevin McCluskey (gone)]

I doubt that this bug depends on bug 31468. The content viewer widgets have no
noticable performance impact on WIN32, but frame loading is slow on that platform.  

Comment 9

[Joseph Elwell]

This seems to have gotten dramatically worse in the past week or so. a few good
examples http://warp/client/im and http://mail.yahoo.com/ Both load so slow I
can fire off 4.x from scratch and still get to those sites faster (you need to
login to mail.yahoo.com in order to see the frames based webmail site - which is
now soo slow it's unusable).

Reassigning bug to Eric

Setting target milestone to mozilla0.9

Comment 12

[Joseph Elwell]

I just noticed that I had mentioned http://warp/client/im as an example - when I
meant http://warp/projects/client/im/dual.html (which is a link off of
warp/client/im called "Dual (Commercial and Mozilla) Tinderbox page"

[Joseph Elwell]

today's build 2001030804, both on linux and win2000 is rather zippy.
mail.yahoo.com as well as http://warp/projects/client/im/dual.html
 load rather fast.
