480848 - unresponsive script warning starting thunderbird folderPane.js:845 caused by regression - excessive subfolder/folder IO activity on startup

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 481065

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

unresponsive script warning during thunderbird startup
    Script: chrome://messenger/content/folderPane.js:845
This occurs before master and all other password prompts.
Respond with "continue" allows the startup to continue without problems

happened 3 of 6 startups.

I had just changed from 2009-02-23 to 2009-02-28. Need to test further to see if it's more related to build or gloda or something else. (Startup no doubt also affected by available memory - PC's memory use is 950MB used of 1GB available due to long running firefox.)

memory
gloda off, 160MB before pwds, 170MB after pwd ... 2 minutes later drops to 50MB
gloda on, 200+MB before passwords (seems high) ... no drop after 2 minutes

The following list of extensions is what I normally run without problem. I'll also test without them.

just seen again using same 20090228, immediately after having rebooted - nothing else running - warning 10-15 seconds after clicking start

couldn't reproduce in two more starts. ~8 seconds to start (which seems long). 

Tomorrow, Wednesday I will test 20090304 and the fix for Bug 481065 local folder db's opened on startup. Perhaps it will make a huge improvement.  (Also couldn't reproduce with 20090303 build)

David, 20090305 build starts with ~100MB *less* memory at point of password prompts, and takes only ~2 seconds. Looks promising that Bug 481065 fixed this (regression from bug 469448 circa 2009-02-04). 

What's a little odd is I didn't see this closer to 2009-02-04. Will close for now as dupe.
