I think there is a problem in the following function :
double currentTime()
{
time_t ttime;
time(&ttime);
return (double)ttime;
}
from the file WebCore/platform/gdk/SystemTimeLinux.cpp.
With this code, time is rounded to the second. Result is that display is slow, because timers are delayed too much.
A fix could be to use the gettimeofday function:
double currentTime()
{
struct timeval aTimeval;
struct timezone aTimezone;
gettimeofday( &aTimeval, &aTimezone );
return (double)aTimeval.tv_sec + (double)(aTimeval.tv_usec / 1000000.0 );
}
I have tested it and now display is immediate on many pages. Layout tests are executed nearly four time faster.
Does someone confirm this is a bug ? Do i need to fill in a bug and post a patch ?
Thanks.
