I downloaded the package and started the new event handling version. So far I'd like to say it feels faster, but that might be only due to 'expectations'.

Do you have any special things I should look at more closely, like behaviour? And where exactly should improvements be visible? On things like scrolling? Tab switching?

Let me know if you want me to perform some special things. I just run it now as I do normally, so far no problems found.

Hi All,

In the past we've speculated that the way Camino handles gecko events may be
responsible for some of the various performance issues people report with
Camino. This includes but is not limited to CPU usage during flash playback.

I've got a patch up:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=271050

which drastically changes how gecko events are dispatched. Because this code
is invoked so frequently and the change is so dramatic, I need a lot of
testing before this will sound like a good idea :-).

It would help out a lot if as many folks as possible could either build and
test or download the disk image here:
http://www.speakeasy.org/~gbeier/Camino-perftest.dmg.bz2

and browse with the two builds included there. The one in the "Old event
handling" folder should be very similar to tonight's nightly. The only
difference between that one and the one in the "New event handling" folder
is the above patch; this should make it easily to isolate performance
differences introduced by this change.

Anyone who gets to kick it around, please report results back either to this
list or on the bug itself.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Geoff
