Hrm, at first sight I can't see anything going wrong. But I can reproduce the performance problem, we'll need to find out which revision regressed this. None of the added code seems to be getting used here.
Bas. I can't seem to find the regression. I know there was similar problem in the past and based on a post on Mozillazine this was fixed around 7/31. I did notice the demo was even slower around this date however all the hourlys from the 31st forward still produce a slow demo. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0b4pre) Gecko/20100810 Minefield/4.0b4pre - Build ID: 20100811040838
I'm also seeing this on my fairly new i7 computer with an Nvidia geForce GTS 250 GPU - it's been a while since I looked at this demo so I'm unable to give a rough idea of when it started. If you find a patch and need testers for a trserver build or whatnot, let us know. It seems some people can see this and others cannot - not sure exactly why that is.
At 500 fish I get ~30fps. At 1000 fish ~ 20 FPS. If I run in safemode this goes up. 500 fish ~42fps. 1000fish ~ 30fps. When I run with a new profile I still have the lower numbers. Is there something in Prefs causing this? I have the 2 d2d/dw optins set correctly. And like Ryan above I really can't remember the last time I ran the demo before today.

I get similar results in the IE Platform Preview compared to our latest builds.

If so, how to explain the better performance in safemode and the same performance with a new profile?

I agree that that's interesting but it's not something I tested in the past! So it might be something that's always there but we simply didn't test, I see the same 6-10% better performance than the IE 9 platform preview that I've always seen though.
The safemode doesn't only disable the addons/themes, it also disables the jit
This is pretty much that I see when I view the page, though the value fluctuates massivly - sometimes it is 34-ish and others it is this and below. This was with a new profile, just with D2D enabled. http://sciguyryan.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/FishTank.png
(In reply to comment #9) > The safemode doesn't only disable the addons/themes, it also disables the jit Interesting that it runs faster -without- the jit. Isn't it?

Now there is interesting. D2D is turned on (rendermode is set to 6) and yet about:memory is showing: gfx/d2d/surfacecache 0 Or is that correct?
(In reply to comment #9) > The safemode doesn't only disable the addons/themes, it also disables the jit I disabled Web Jit and sure enough my speeds increased without using safemode. I suppose a new profile enables Jit which is why I see the same drop in performance with a new profile?

Theoretically it's possible, but it is highly unlikely, did you remember to turn on DirectWrite as well? Otherwise it will fallback to GDI.

fwiw on my system gfx/d2d/surfacecache = 20,772,628

Those can in some cases break stuff.

I created a new profile to test this, as well as my working profile - both show the same result, as such its probably not an addon issue. Since I only have ABP installed on this (the work profile) anyway, its pretty easy to filter that out.

In the past ABP was problematic with D2D. Not sure if it still is.
(In reply to comment #19) > > In the past ABP was problematic with D2D. Not sure if it still is. The new profile doesn't have it so it can't be that in any event, both profiles give the same results.

Yes please - the jit should never be slower than not jitting!

I did a few tests on my Nvidia 7050 (DX9) with 20 fish, including with most recent trunk. about:memory : gfx/d2d/surfacecache = 0 with DW/D2D on. Some figures: 3.6.8 - 25 fps 4b1 - DW/D2D on - was really slow like 3 fps 4b1 - DW/D2D off - 20-23 fps 4b3 - DW/D2D on - was so slow it locked up the browser, barely 1 fps. 4b3 - DW/D2D off - 20 fps 4.0b4pre - D2D/DW on - 20 fps 4.0b4pre - DW/D2D off - 20 fps 4.0b4pre - D2D/DW on: Background tab speed, fish become way more active! 30-50 fps Foreground tab speed: 20 fps. 4.0b4pre - D2D/DW off: Background tab speed, fish become way more active! 30-60 fps Foreground tab speed: 20 fps.

I don't think you're getting D2D support. Check 'about:support' to see if its getting enabled on your last builds.
It does say false all the time with the last builds, also not seeing testcase from bug 532106 after 8-10.
D2D / D3D9 hardware is working again in nightly 8-19. I see on my system, 1 FishIE tab was using about 4 megs of vram, still high CPU (Core 2 Duo) this time with DW/D2D on I see about 15 fps at first, then it slowly dropped down to about 9 fps and stayed there.
Looks like I get about 2 fps with 20 fish, d2d/dw/d3d9 enabled: --> slowui
Blocks: slowui
Is this still an issue? I am using the latest Nightly (11/28/10 Build) with default graphics settings and am seeing 60 fps on all numbers of fish in tank except 1000, where the fps drops to about 30. My screen size (according to Fish Tank Page is 1366 x 629 without Minefield full-screen mode and 1366 x 767 in full-screen mode. I receive the same fps for all fish sizes in both screen modes and have an NVIDIA 9800M GS Laptop chipset.
In latest Minefield, 17fps/1000 in Minefield and Google Chrome, both got almost same FPS. However, Minefield seem to skip with a frame like a hiccup every 1-2 seconds.
Gary, Is it OK for you now?
