New issue 16494 by [email protected]: New field trial tests are ignored  
by renderers
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=16494

I'm starting a new browser and following the data collected by *.Renderer4
histograms and I'm seeing that a good part of the navigations are missing.

If the browser restores a lot of tabs (at least after a crash), most
(sometimes all) of the renderers will not include all the data that I'm
trying to gather. The problem is that the field trial info is passed as a
command line when the renderer is created, and the test that I'm interested
in is only declared when the first resource fetch happens, so my test is
not included in the list of tests even though it is active for the whole
life of every network request performed by all renderers (or at least,
impacts every request and it is active by the time the histogram should be
declared for the first time in the renderer).

This is important because one of the things that I'm interested in is the
behavior of the browser during startup, when we may have a lot of tabs
making simultaneous requests. In addition, if the process limit is reached
with the browser launch, I'm pretty much losing all info from that client.

As an alternative, we could consider an ipc message that tells existing
renderers about new test being added.
