'Options' menu opens very slowly

[ankir]

And no one has noticed this before now. Strange.)

people rather rarely change more or less stable settings. and some things are easy
to be done from the context (right-click) menu, which opens quickly and is very
convenient. This may be an explanation...

[therube]

Now on a faster computer, Intel i5-750 & 4GB ram, Win7 x86, & I'm not seeing it - or at least it isn't very perceptible.

(Still testing on SeaMonkey 2.0.11 regardless of what this post may show.)

Now on a faster computer, Intel i5-750 & 4GB ram, Win7 x86, & I'm not seeing it - or at least it isn't very perceptible.

That was then, now is now.
Same computer, SeaMonkey 2.0.12pre. NoScript 2.0.9rc2. SeaMonkey must have been open since the 18th or so.

At this moment, Options menu opens very slowly. Clicking various tabs in Options is delayed, not crisp.

[therube]

A process injected into the browsers address space?

[Giorgio Maone]

Do the browser's own options dialog perform OK, when this happens?

[therube]

Yes.
And ABP & all other extensions too.

Don't quote me, but on my faster computer, a different Profile did not exhibit the same slowness. (Two out of 3 Profiles did.)
On my slower computers, all Profiles show Options menu opening very slowly.

Yesterday I saw various (Windows, "IE" related processes in the SeaMonkey address space <Windows 7>) & that made me think of the process angle. (In the past, certain versions of McAfee SiteAdvisor injected itself into Mozilla, raising havoc.)

Edit:
NeilAway stated that "the file open common dialog pulls in a wodge of DLLs, such as iertutil.dll". I know that XXX (i put the name in there once i remember it - that mult-language do-dad that gets run by default with Office, & later versions of IE - at least in XP) has been known to cause problems, but I do not have that running.)

Problem: Delayed View and Delete Operations

[therube]

A slow video. Note that even the Cancel button is slow to close the window.

[Giorgio Maone]

A slow video. Note that even the Cancel button is slow to close the window.

The Cancel button executes absolutely no code from NoScript.
If that's slow as well, the culprit is likely elsewhere.
How the RAM and CPU usage looks like before opening the dialog, while it stays opened, and after closing it?

[therube]

i5-750, 4GB ram.

Note that this is the same computer, Profile, browser where the issue was not apparent the other day, http://forums.informaction.com/viewtopi ... 078#p24078. Also reverting back to NoScript 1.9.x alleviates the problem.

High CPU (25% = 1 core), relatively long duration.
Initially opened from Session Restore.
Then things settled down. Then I opened, closed NoScript Options a few times, waiting a bit between open/close.

Imagine I'll see similar results on an E4300, 2GB ram, & a newly opened browser, clean Profile, about:blank, & only NoScript installed. (The video above was from this computer. Don't remember what else may have been open at the time, though it was with clean Profile & only NoScript.)

Both SeaMonkey 2.0.x & FF 3.5.16 (both gecko 1.9.1) display the same symptoms with NoScript > 2.0.
Both work fine with NoScript <= 1.9.9.99.

Neither SeaMonkey 2.1.x (gecko 2.x) nor FF 3.6.13 (gecko 1.9.2) exhibit the problem.
(There was no SeaMonkey gecko 1.9.2 release.)

[Giorgio Maone]

I tried to collect some profiling data following your steps on Fx 3.5.16, but the longest task observed was the noscriptOptions::nsopts.init(), which took 63ms when fastest and 104ms when slowest, and no "slowness" was humanely perceivable anyway.

Could you use the JavaScript Debugger (Venkman) (which IIRC should be built-in in SeaMonkey), Profile|Collect profile Data, open/close the dialog 3 or 4 times, then saving the collected data and send me them?

Thanks.

Also, wild guess: does disabling automatic WAN IP detection help?

[therube]

> does disabling automatic WAN IP detection help?

No.

Don't really know what I'm doing, but ...
