724476 - WebGL noticeably slower recently on Firefox 12 & 13 with D3D9

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Graphics: CanvasWebGL, defect)

Description

[jonrandy]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:10.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0
Build ID: 20120129021758

Steps to reproduce:

I regularly check https://webglsamples.googlecode.com/hg/aquarium/aquarium.html as a test of WebGL speed and functionality when trying Aurora and Nightly builds

Win XP SP3

Adapter Description			Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family
Vendor							ID8086
Device							ID2a02
Adapter RAM						Unknown
Adapter Driver					sigxprd32
Driver Version					6.14.10.5218
Driver Date						1-13-2010
Vendor ID (GPU #2)			8086
Device ID (GPU #2)			2a03
Adapter RAM (GPU #2)			Unknown
Adapter Drivers (GPU #2)	Unknown
Driver Version (GPU #2)		6.14.10.5218
Driver Date (GPU #2)			1-13-2010
WebGL Renderer					Google Inc. -- ANGLE (Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family) -- OpenGL ES 2.0 (ANGLE 0.0.0.809)
GPU Accelerated Windows		2/2 Direct3D 9



Actual results:

I cannot pinpoint an exact date, but for a while now WebGL does not seem to run as fast as it used to - I used to get about 15fps all the time. Now however, this has dropped to 7 or 8fps - this occurs even with a clean profile


Expected results:

I would expect WebGL performance as development continues would remain the same or (ideally) improve

Comment 1

[jonrandy]

WebGL Firefox 10 is still getting 15fps although WebGL sometimes does not seem to initialise correctly

Comment 2

[Kevin Brosnan [:kbrosnan]]

Maybe a ANGLE upgrade slowed things down. Someone from the graphics team may be able to point out dates where ANGLE was upgraded. Then test http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/ around that date.

Comment 3

[Benoit Jacob [:bjacob] (mostly away)]

Jon, it would be incredibly useful if you could bisect this using archived Nightly builds found at:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/

Kevin, while it's possible that a ANGLE update would regress WebGL performance, it's also possible that the culprit is in our WebGL implementation per se, or in adjacent gfx code. Let's just bisect this for now.

Comment 4

[Zéfling]

I also note this regression.

I should be able to do this this weekend - what builds should I be looking at? mozilla-central builds from the 2012/01 2012/02 folders?

Comment 6

[Benoit Jacob [:bjacob] (mostly away)]

Yes, the mozilla-central builds.

Comment 7

[Mauro Sanabria]

I have noticed the slowness first with Inspector's 3D View (embedded Tilt); after some experimenting in my setup (Fx 12.0a2 32-bit on Windows 7 64-bit, Mobile Intel 965 Express -blocked, only Direct3D 9 available-) I found it also happens with other WebGL demos and got STR and a workaround: the problem manifests only when the WebGL application is started with a maximized window, and it doesn't when started from a restored window.

I have yet to try starting the WebGL application from a fullscreen window (cannot test with Inspector's 3D View due to bug 694000, bug 705197 and because keyboard shortcuts for Inspector's buttons are not recognized in fullscreen). Nevertheless, when the WebGL application is started from a restored window it remains fast when it is maximized or fullscreened afterwards; conversely, when it is started from a maximized window it remains slow if the window is restored or fullscreened afterwards.

In my setup the problem manifests with all my 24 add-ons enabled, and with all of them manually disabled (one by one) as well; however, if you do Help->Restart with Add-ons Disabled... the problem does not manifest.

Hope this helps...

Comment 8

[Mauro Sanabria]

Forgot to mention, I can reproduce the described Restored/Maximized window dance with a new profile as well.

Comment 11

[jonrandy]

I was just about to start trying to pin down where it went bad.... looks like I don't need to now?

Comment 12

[Benoit Jacob [:bjacob] (mostly away)]

Jon: comment 10 is conclusive that the regression is caused by the patches from bug 720467, but that implies that it's a regression in Firefox 13, not in Firefox 12 as you originally reported. If you are positive that there's a regression in Firefox 12 already, then comment 10 is talking about a separate thing and you own bisecting would then still be useful.

Comment 13

[Benoit Jacob [:bjacob] (mostly away)]

The regression found by comment 10, caused by bug 720467, is quite possibly/probably bug 725747, which has a patch pending review.

Comment 14

[Mark Funk]

It seems that this slowness is caused by Angle.

Inspector's 3D view started when browser is maximized:
In Firefox 11: Fluid
In Current m-c: sub 1FPS
In Current m-c with webgl.prefer-native-gl true: Fluid

I can also confirm Comment 7

Inspector's 3D view started when browser is not maximized:
In Firefox 11: Fluid
In Current m-c: Fluid
In Current m-c with webgl.prefer-native-gl true: Fluid


Tested with Radeon Mobile 6370 On Windows 7 64bit with 32bit builds of Firefox

So this is a couple of ANGLE bugs:
http://code.google.com/p/angleproject/issues/detail?id=293
http://code.google.com/p/angleproject/issues/detail?id=294

This bug also severely impacts performance on d3d10 as well, though d3d9 should be being hit even harder.

Comment 19

[MrX1980]

I don't think this is a ANGLE (only) problem, because Aurora and Nightly has the same ANGLE version .963

http://www.kamibu.com/demos/cloth-simulation/
Aurora (12.0a2) = fast
Nightly (13.0a1) = slow

The only different I can see is gfx.direct3d.prefer_10_1
Aurora = gfx.direct3d.prefer_10_1 not exist
Nightly = gfx.direct3d.prefer_10_1 is always true and cannot set to false (switching always back to true after restart)

What should be committed to upstream ANGLE?

Comment 26

[Benoit Jacob [:bjacob] (mostly away)]

Also: since these patches are to our copy of ANGLE, it is very important to add them as gfx/angle/*.patch files and mention them in gfx/angle/README.mozilla. Otherwise, if for some reason they're not accepted upstream, we'd lose them the next time we sync.

I would consider accepting this patch.  I don't believe it should rely on the previous patch.  Ideally the approach in mainline would be as described in Issue 295 (http://code.google.com/p/angleproject/issues/detail?id=295), but this is likely better a better value for default IMPLEMENTATION READ FORMAT/TYPE until we get there.

Comment 29

[daniel-bzmz]

Perhaps the biggest question though, is why is the ReadPixels path now being taken?  It certainly wasn't before as we have not changed this area of ANGLE.  In general read-pixels is not a well-optimized path in ANGLE, and likely will never be the best path. I thought that the ReadPixels path wasn't required under ANGLE (with the d3d9-share handles, etc).  Note that we also provide support for ANGLE_framebuffer_blit which can do much more efficient copies.

It was an issue with the patch for bug 720467, which will be fixed in bug 726396 which I will be uploading later today. There was some incorrect logic that was preventing the share handles from being used.

Comment 31

[Kelsey Gilbert [:jgilbert] (previously Jeff)]

I would like to keep Patch 1's strict interpretation in our downstream version. It seems we've hit on a more strict implementation over at bug 728724, but it could be spurious.

IMO ANGLE being less restrictive shouldn't have any impact on that, since ANGLE won't be used there...

It's not used there, but if ANGLE were equally restrictive, we would have caught these bugs earlier.

This patch should be unnecessary, since we correctly use BGRA readpixels on ANGLE (though for invalid reasons) before the logic was corrected in the patch that landed on Fx12, exposing this regression.

Changing this in ANGLE on Fx11/Beta shouldn't change anything, but it shouldn't fix anything either, I think.

Adding qawanted to see whether or not this regression is necessary on the latest Aurora 12 builds now that we've fixed bug 727178. Please re-nominate if not.

Comment 53

[Kelsey Gilbert [:jgilbert] (previously Jeff)]

Specifically, they should check WebGL performance on WinXP. Without this patch, performance should be majorly impacted, since the patch that regressed this from bug 721205 landed on 12.

Sorry, could you clarify whether you believe FF12 has poor performance with D3D9 without this patch? I took "This patch should be unnecessary" from your previous comment to mean we were unsure if it was necessary at all.

Comment 55

[Kelsey Gilbert [:jgilbert] (previously Jeff)]

Perhaps I was too weak in my wording. This patch fixes a regression from a commit which hit Fx12. Since we are quite sure that this caused the regression, we can be quite sure that this fix is also needed on 12. That is, unless testing shows Fx12 perf was not degraded by the regression in question in this bug.

In other words, Fx12 almost certainly needs this regression fix for those using d3d9 layers and ANGLE, which is mostly WinXP users. Without this backport, ANGLE performance will be (relatively severely) negatively impacted relative to the size of the canvas.

How does this compare to trunk performance (should have been fixed) or FF 11 perf (before regression window)?

Yes, this is still necessary.
QA has nightly/13 and beta/11 at 33fps, while aurora/12 is at 8fps.
This is also a low-risk patch, so landing should be uneventful.

Is qawanted still needed on this bug? If so, what is the specific ask for QA?

As in Comment 4, probably WebGL Aquarium, or any WebGL demo with a large screen that displays framerate. The regression will cause extreme framerate reductions in relation to the size of the canvas. (near-fullscreen demos should be most affected) Complexity of demo doesn't matter too much; Aquarium with the least number of fishes should be tremendously slow with this regression. (pre-fix)

Note that this is with D3D9 layers and ANGLE WebGL renderer.

If I understand comment 67 correctly, all that is needed at this point is fix verification. If that's that case, we can drop qawanted.

Comment 69

[u279076]

No one objected to my comment 22 so dropping qawanted. Please re-add if there's something specific needed.

Verified with Firefox 12 beta 2 on Windows XP having D3D9 enabled and Angle WebGL render - on the WebGL Aquarium demo (https://webglsamples.googlecode.com/hg/aquarium/aquarium.html) the frame rate is 30.

Verified using Firefox 13 beta 2 that having D3D9 enabled and Angle WebGl render  the fps is 30 (tested on https://webglsamples.googlecode.com/hg/aquarium/aquarium.html).

Has there been a regression here? Just updated Nightly to 30/06/2012 and aquarium page is running about half the speed. Not sure if this happened with this update or 1 or 2 days back as have not tested for a couple of days

File a new bug as it seems you have no problem in 13.0.1.
