7910 - progress dialog performance

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Installer: XPInstall Engine, defect, P3)

Description

[Cathleen]

Installing 1000 files on a P5-233 machine took roughly about 1 1/2 ~ 2 minutes,
but the progress dialog itself took about 4 minutes to finish.

Basically, the installation of the files are already done, but it took a lot
longer for the event loop to finish process all the events.

I do not believe that the problem is with the dialog/proxy code, rather the
delay you are seeing is the time it take for finalize to complete.  Please
verify this by setting a break point at the end of finalize install.  You will
see that your breakpoint will be hit then (a few hundred lines later) the dialog
will close.

I would agree that the dialog does not give you an indication of progress
during this stage, but I stand that the progress dialog performance is not a
the real problem.  If you care, please open up another bug which can address
this dialogs shortcomings.

I am going to mark as INVALID.

setting target milestone to M11

Need to get a copy of quantify to measure performance with and without UI
dialogs, in order to define the problem.
