803550 - [ARMv6] - Cycling through list of tabs skips and pauses and is generally slow; difficult to select a tab

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Toolbar, defect)

Description

[Aaron Train [:aaronmt]]

Currently when one cycles through a list of open tabs (10~15 did it for me) there is a lot of chugging and skips and makes it difficult to actually select a tab in the listing.

can we get more explicit STR. Also like to get a retest with tiles landed, screenshots disabled and floating point math moved to hardware

I open ~10-15 tabs and pan through the list up and down.

Still an issue on the slower (~600MHz) devices, it's acceptable (still not as swift as ARMv7) on the faster devices. Tested via trunk (11/01), mozilla-beta (17.0b4). 

Not sure how you want to resolve this.

Still a qualm with recent builds and in regard to 600 MHz

this is pretty ethereal. Chris is there anything on your plate that would address this? If we have anything more concrete to do here, please renom

I would consider this a front-end issue. This has likely been fixed by sriram's overdraw fixing, though I have noticed a perf regression with the tab tray recently (which I'll open a new bug about).
