Currently we take about ~100 to 120 ms loading tabs panel on start. This patch makes tabs panel load lazily. Which means gecko gets started faster, and hence faster everything :) Applying the patch does not show any visible lag in the user experience.

Sorry about the mix up. This is the patch and it does as described above.

Before pushing, could you please post a test build? Just curious about the impact of this change on the framerate of the first tabs panel animation after startup.

Hmmm, you were right about tablets it seems we try to show the tabs panel before layout which leads to weird behaviour in certain cases. This patch does take care of that. Here is the build. It looks like it lags a bit. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11916346/mozilla/lazyloadtabspanel.apk If you think the same, I can try something else (like loading on gecko ready).

Comment on attachment 796985 [details] [diff] [review] Patch: Lazy load tabs panel Review of attachment 796985 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- This looks generally good. Still not sure about the need to wait for a global layout before showing tabs panel. There's an extra delay when you first open the tabs panel. It's not hugely noticeable but it's there. I'd like to at least add a trigger to inflate the tabs panel after gecko is loaded. But we still need to handle the case where the user opens the tabs panel before gecko is up and running. ::: mobile/android/base/BrowserApp.java @@ +1191,5 @@ > return; > > + if (mTabsPanel == null) { > + // Inflate stubbed tabs panel. > + ViewStub tabsPanelStub = (ViewStub) findViewById(R.id.tabs_panel); final @@ +1192,5 @@ > > + if (mTabsPanel == null) { > + // Inflate stubbed tabs panel. > + ViewStub tabsPanelStub = (ViewStub) findViewById(R.id.tabs_panel); > + mTabsPanel = (TabsPanel) (tabsPanelStub).inflate(); No need for parens around tabsPanelStub @@ +1193,5 @@ > + if (mTabsPanel == null) { > + // Inflate stubbed tabs panel. > + ViewStub tabsPanelStub = (ViewStub) findViewById(R.id.tabs_panel); > + mTabsPanel = (TabsPanel) (tabsPanelStub).inflate(); > + mTabsPanel.setTabsLayoutChangeListener(this); nit: add empty line here. @@ +1200,5 @@ > + ViewTreeObserver vto = mTabsPanel.getViewTreeObserver(); > + if (vto.isAlive()) { > + vto.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() { > + @Override > + public void onGlobalLayout() { Why do you need to wait for a global layout round before showing tabs panel?

It would be nice to get someone to look into continuing this work.
Sounds like a job for Lucas! :D

Comment on attachment 8370813 [details] [diff] [review] Lazy-inflate TabsPanel once the first pageload is finished (r=mfinkle) Only inflate the tabs panel after the initial pageload is done or if the user manually opens it before that.

Comment on attachment 8370813 [details] [diff] [review] Lazy-inflate TabsPanel once the first pageload is finished (r=mfinkle) Looks good. Wes is adding a Gecko:DelayedStartup handler in one of his r+'d patches too. You might get conflicts if he gets there first.

Comment on attachment 8370878 [details] [diff] [review] Lazy-inflate TabsPanel once the first pageload is finished (r=mfinkle) Found a bug on tablets when we try to show tabs just after inflating while in landscape orientation (i.e. sidebar mode). We need to wait for a global layout before showing the view.
