69140 - Prefs and Chromefiles are opened more often than needed

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 72551

(Core :: General, defect)

Description

[Christian Mattar]

I used a simple tool called "filemon" to monitor which files are opened by 
Mozilla during startup. If I interpret the log-file correctly, the Chrome.jar 
files are opened and closed several times subsequently, without actually reading 
any data (see item 15130 and following and 17942 and following of the 
attachment).
Similar for the prefs (see item 932 and following).

You can download the tool at http://www.sysinternals.com/

I have absolutely no idea what component this might be, so I put it to 
Browser-General.

This is the JAR protocol.

this sounds like bug 72551, which Dan Veditz has checked in a fix for it 
around 4/5/01.

Can reporter, Christian Matter [e-mail], verify if this is indeed the same 
bug as 72551?

Looking at the filemon-logs, it seems to be much better, although there's still 
improvement to be made IMO.
I'll attach a new logfile with the important sections marked sometime later this 
afternoon.

I checked the log-file again and it actually looks pretty good right now.
Marking as dup.
