Probably more modifications are required: for example, ASV and Renesis don't accept a method as setInterval/setTimeout argument - a string must be used instead... :-| > Thanks for the input. You're welcome. ;-) I've read through the article - which I found quite valuable, by the way - and have a few comments which I'd like to share. 1. There are some limitations while using "setInterval": 1.1. As far as I know, setInterval doesn't consider the time it takes to execute the code block called. This means that if you have a very short interval and a heavy (long/heavy) block of code, you may not get the desired behavior (read as: things can go pretty messy). Although scripting is executed as single thread, which assures that no nasty interactions will occur, nevertheless the timing may messed up. Please correct me if I'm wrong! 1.2. Firefox as a known issue [1] with this particular timing mechanism. While it's pretty harder to reproduce using Firefox 3 than in Firefox 2, it still applies... 1.3. I'd generally propose "setTimeout" as a timing mechanism (called each time, immediately before returning), specially when the time consumed in the called method isn't relevant (and, even so, one can simply measure the time it took). 2. Couple of suggestions: 2.1. In "What I'm Trying to Measure", maybe referencing (link to?) the Firefox bug around the "setInterval" text wouldn't be a bad idea, at least to point out this known limitation; 2.2. In "Measurement Methodology", I also believe mentioning (linking to?) the Batik bug report for the programmatic navigation feature [4] would also be valuable - one can then see when and how was it fixed (thanks for contributing it, as we're at it). 3. Few typos which I think you will appreciate: 3.1. In "Rationale" [5], "surpised" --> "surprised"; 3.2. In "The Instruments Test" [6], "modification to" --> "modification of" (?); 3.3. In "The Wuse Test" [7], "hghest" --> "highest"; Cheers, Helder Magalhães [1] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=291386 [2] http://anomaly.org/wade/projects/svg/profiling/#what_measure [3] http://anomaly.org/wade/projects/svg/profiling/#methodology [4] https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46072 [5] http://anomaly.org/wade/projects/svg/profiling/#rationale [6] http://anomaly.org/wade/projects/svg/profiling/#instruments_test_results [7] http://anomaly.org/wade/projects/svg/profiling/#wuse_test_results ------------------------------------ ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ----Yahoo!
