Bug #: 42071
Summary: Large numbers of instances on a page cause browsers to
hang or crash
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: TimedMediaHandler
AssignedTo: d...@ucsc.edu
ReportedBy: bjor...@wikimedia.org
CC: jger...@wikimedia.org, wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
On enwiki, the page [[en:Portal:Featured sounds]] embeds 380 media files.
Something within TimedMediaHandler causes my browser on my laptop (Firefox
16.0.2, Linux) to grind (100% CPU, unresponsive) for about 10 minutes at around
the time the DOMReady or onLoad event fires, apparently while generating the UI
for all those embeds. Others on IRC reported similar experiences or outright
crashes in Firefox and Chrome. In further testing, a page with 90 embeds seemed
to be handled fine for me, and a page with 180 ground for about 15 seconds.
If this can't be fixed directly, perhaps TMH can process the embeds on the page
in batches (waiting for one batch to complete before the next runs) or just
refuse to process over a certain number of embeds in a page.
