29773 - Sending a large plain text quote takes several minutes

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: MIME, defect, P3)

Description

[Ben Bucksch (:BenB)]

Reproduce:
1. Reply to a "size-matters"-msg of chofmann in n.p.m.seamonkey with a HTML
mail. Don't cut anything from the quote.

Actual result:
The send operation needs ~4 mins on a normally fast machine and a debug build.

Expected result:
The send operation needs < 15s on the above machine.

----------
Reason is mozTXTToHTMLConv::Right(), which has a poor performance behaviour.
Together with its usage, this causes ScanTXT's performance to be exponential to
the size of the quoted msg.

This bug has been fixed by me at 02/03/00 19:56. The latest patch for this bug
is <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=5070>. It is
included in the patch for bug #26915.

The changes for Bug #26915 also ended up fixing this bug. In the example message
of size matters in the newsgroup. we are down to 300ms on my debug machine
instead of in the order of minutes. Can we mark this fixed for now Ben?
