47711 - timing/performance problem on rewards.com

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[chris hofmann]

interesting bug. not sure where this should land.

win95 laptop.  266 mhz. 56k modem dialup line.
go to the test url.
under seamonkey beta 2 I never can see the first page draw
before quickly move to the redirect and the
second redirected page begins to be layed out.

On 4.x I see the full layout on the first page for
4-5 seconds then the redirect occurs.

Are we just not drawing the first page very fast?
Are we moving to the redirect to quickly?

Re-assigning bugs on Clayton's list opened between 7/29 and 8/4 to Kevin for
further triage.

Probably the general problem where we do not flush out all of the pending paint 
messages before firing timers.

This bug has been marked "future" because the original netscape engineer working
on this is over-burdened. If you feel this is an error, that you or another
known resource will be working on this bug,or if it blocks your work in some way
-- please attach your concern to the bug for reconsideration.

I'm not seeing the first page being rendered, but I don't notice any performance
problems with the page after the redirect so I am removing the perf keyword and
adding a correctness keyword.

I can no longer get to the URL (http://www.rewards2k.com/)
Lots of things have been fixed in regards to redirection and rendering since
this bug was filed so I'm going to close it out.
