What does this preference do?
When it's set to a value greater than 0 (you can increase the number if
you are using several compose
window at the same time), the compose window is recycled (cached in
memory) when you close it instead
to be destroyed. Next time you open a compose window, we look if we have
a recycled window available
and use it else, we create a brand new one. The advantage is a major
speed up to open the window.
This feature is available since November 3 (see
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104989 for
more detail about it).
Once we get enough QA and we wil be sure we haven't introduced
regressions, we will turn on by default this feature.
Known issues:
a) Send Page and Send link from the browser window or the editor does
not take
advantage of the recycled window
(http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108731)
b) We need to figure out the memory usage impact of recycling the
compose window
c) Some time a recycled compose window popup by itself
(http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109081)
d) We need to speed up as well the 1st message compose window
Text display in this new composition window looks a little strange, more
compressed and almost looks like I'm cofigured for HTML posting, which I
am not !!
