534042 - High CPU Utilization when running mozmill from cli

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Testing Graveyard :: Mozmill, defect)

Description

[Aakash Desai [:aakashd]]

When I open mozmill via cli on osx for 10.5, the cpu utilization goes to 99% on Python and stays persistent until the opened browser is closed.

Here's what I'm running:

host-4-3:mozmill adesai$ python --version
Python 2.6.2
host-4-3:extension adesai$ sudo easy_install -U mozmill

I see the same problem. When analyzing the python process the activity monitor shows that we spent most of our time in __kill. Looks like we should leave more time for other processes there.

Our stopping code has been completely changed and this no longer seems to be an issue.

I can verify that this issue doesn't persist anymore with Mozmill 2.0. That's great to see.
