332935 - Form history performance

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect, P2)

Description

[Brett Wilson]

Form history performance is unknown. Most people seem to think that it's OK, but these are developers on fast computers. We need to check form history performance on slow computers to see if it needs some of the caching and preloading optimizations we've been doing for history.

I have noticed it be slow sometimes (I'm on a networked drive) and hang the browser for about 1s when you first type into a form field. Upping the priority.

There are some references to Start/StopDummyStatement, should those be changed to Start/StopCache?

Looks good otherwise.

References to Start/StopDummyStatement fixed and on trunk and branch.

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h".

In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows:
Tools | Message Filters
Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New"
Conditions: Body   contains   places-to-b-and-h
Change the action to "Delete Message".
Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top.
Click OK.

Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter.
