Whenever I use my laptop on battery Firefox seems to slow to a crawl. I am becoming more and more convinced that the slowdown I see is due to our 3d acceleration, probably because NVIDIA switches to a very slow low-power mode. Recently I started collecting minidumps whenever Firefox enters a hang state (where the window gets greyed out and the title bar says "Not Responding"). I collected about ten different dumps and each one had the following stack: Main thread: DWrite.dll!operator!=() + 0x19 bytes DWrite.dll!GlyphDataBlock<GlyphBitmapLayout,GlyphBitmapRasterizationParameters,GlyphBitmapRasterizationState>::IsEqualKeyImpl() + 0x3a bytes DWrite.dll!CacheReader::LookupElement() + 0xe6 bytes DWrite.dll!GlyphDataBlock<GlyphBitmapLayout,GlyphBitmapRasterizationParameters,GlyphBitmapRasterizationState>::FillFromReadOnlyCache() + 0x76 bytes DWrite.dll!GlyphDataBlock<GlyphBitmapLayout,GlyphBitmapRasterizationParameters,GlyphBitmapRasterizationState>::ServerLookup() + 0xa8 bytes DWrite.dll!GlyphDataBlock<GlyphBitmapLayout,GlyphBitmapRasterizationParameters,GlyphBitmapRasterizationState>::GetGlyphData() + 0x57 bytes DWrite.dll!GetGlyphBitmaps() + 0x93 bytes DWrite.dll!GlyphRunAnalysis::GlyphRunAnalysis() + 0x2fc bytes DWrite.dll!DWriteFactory::CreateGlyphRunAnalysis() + 0xfb bytes d2d1.dll!GlyphRunRealizer::Init() + 0xf8 bytes d2d1.dll!CHwSurfaceRenderTarget::DrawGlyphRunInternal() + 0xbc bytes d2d1.dll!CCommand_DrawGlyphRun::Execute() + 0x27 bytes d2d1.dll!CHwSurfaceRenderTarget::ProcessBatch() + 0x4c bytes d2d1.dll!CBatchSerializer::FlushInternal() + 0x2e bytes d2d1.dll!CBatchSerializer::FlushInternalAndTryIncreaseStorage() + 0x36 bytes d2d1.dll!CBatchSerializer::StartCommand<CCommand_SetTextRenderingParams>() + 0xc bytes d2d1.dll!DrawingContext::SetTextRenderingParams() + 0x34 bytes d2d1.dll!D2DRenderTargetBase<ID2D1HwndRenderTarget>::SetTextRenderingParams() + 0x4e bytes > gkmedias.dll!mozilla::gfx::DrawTargetD2D::FillGlyphs(mozilla::gfx::ScaledFont * aFont, const mozilla::gfx::GlyphBuffer & aBuffer, const mozilla::gfx::Pattern & aPattern, const mozilla::gfx::DrawOptions & aOptions, const mozilla::gfx::GlyphRenderingOptions * aRenderOptions) Line 886 xul.dll!gfxContext::AzureState::AzureState(const gfxContext::AzureState & __that) + 0x80 bytes 00388a04() 000000aa() 4a7faa24() Is there anything that can be done about this?

Hrm, we will be calling this a little more with Azure content than without. Has this problem started recently? The fix should be easy. But I should fix this on aurora as well.
This makes us call TextRenderingParams as often as we do with Cairo. I never really knew this could cause a flush of the command stream so could be expensive.

(In reply to Bas Schouten (:bas) from comment #1) > Has this problem started recently? Not sure about this particular stack, but FF has been really slow on battery power for a while now. I try to be plugged in whenever I can because of it so I just don't know.
It's not clear that this is a recent regression, so no need to track for release. That being said, we would consider an uplift to Aurora 15 once fixed.
If this patch fixes the bug, then it's a regression from bug 715768, which landed for Firefox 15. Ben, can you do a build with this patch in it?
Wait, if this reduces the number of times we call this function that clearly causes an expensive blocking operation why wouldn't we take it? I can do a build sometime soon, I guess.
Oh, we'd take it, but I'd like to know if it isn't fixed :)
Oops, bugzilla changed the flags...
So... It seems that this changes rendering slightly. It's hard to see it, almost. I'll attach some screenshots.

Though it is also important to know why the rendering changed.
It looks to me like there are two differences in the font rendering: different hinting behavior (maybe the difference between Natural and GDI-like rendering, for example?), and different gamma correction being used for the colored subpixel-AA pixels.
(In reply to Jeff Muizelaar [:jrmuizel] from comment #14) > Though it is also important to know why the rendering changed. I guess I could see this happening if it returned the TempRT for drawing somewhere... I'll add something for that to the patch.
The verdict is in, though: this patch fixes the hang I was seeing. Now I see some slowdown on battery but all my profiles point to the layout engine.
This is a regression then, let's fix it. I'll be uploading a new patch in a little bit.
The previous patch was very broken (note how it sets mParams before actually checking if it's equal to params). This patch fixes all correctness issues.

[Triage Comment] This missed landing in when 15 was on Aurora so now needs to land to beta. Please update the status flags once this has landed.
