Firefox Performance Stats

hoopa
Hi all,

Does anyone know where I can get hold of performance stats on how long Firefox take to open really large websites (like > 500k of xhtml). I have done some initial tests with a page of around 1MB and found that Firefox just stops for about 5mins while it gets over the shock. I could go though and test a lot more combinations, but I hoping to find some performance tests that show the point where Firefox starts to degrade.

Cheers,
Hoopa

It's not the XML parser, i can tell you that. I've used 3.0b3 to open a 400MB xml file (it was by accident, I wanted to open it with XMLSpy >_<) and it only took firefox about 10 seconds to render the xml tree. I don't know how much of that was the pulling it off of the disk

hey, I am using Firefox 3.0b2 and I simultaneously load at least 15 or 20 different web sites at a time. You know what, this version 3.0 is oozing fast! no hang ups, even when loading different heavy-flash images and animations.

Thanks for that guys. That will give me something to go on now. This work is being done as part of my job, and I suspect for the time being I will be stuck with v2.0 until we can get the newer versions of Firefox approved through security.

I'm not sure if it matters, but a large component of what I'm working with involves the XForms plugin for Firefox. From what you guys are saying it may not be the parser. I have access to FormsPlayer for IE and another XForms viewer so I might try some tests with those and see how things go.

Cheers,
Hoopa

    flash plugins etc (6)
    Hi, I just recently downloaded and began using Mozilla's Firefox 1.6 as my web browser, but for
    some reason, whenever I try to go to a site that uses a Flash plugin, Mozilla refuses to let me
    download the plugin. I mean, it tries, but it never works. Does anyone else have the same problem
    with Mozilla or have heard of this happening? its not that big of a deal, because I can still use
    Internet Explorer, but Mozilla is just much safer in general, so I'd rather use that. Any
    advice, answers or ideas would be very welcome. thanks in advance.....

  16. Other Browsers Besides Firefox?
    barebones (13)
    I love firefox also, but I'm looking for a barebones browser that just basically has an address

    http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.p...ackage_id=84358 ) which is a tiny little program that
    can play almost any media type (music mp3s, ogg, wmv, etc...video's like .mov, .avi, divX
    encoded, etc....images like jpgs, gifs, etc...). MPC is a "barebones" program so to speak - there
    is nothing fancy about it at all, but it is a simple program that is extremely versatile. A....

  20. Why you should switch to Firefox now
    The GDIplus vulnerability (27)
    This is about a new flaw in Internet Explorer and how it renders one of the most common image
    formats in the web, the "JPEG". The code that enables a hacker to exploit this flaw is out to the
    public and therefore in a matter of a couple of weeks, we'll be expecting a new virus that uses
    this exploit. The GDIplus DLL (Graphic Device Interface plus) or gdiplus.dll is only enabled in
    Windows 2000 & XP. So if you're running on an older version of Windows and if you've
    upgraded to XP SP2, then you're not vulnerable to this exploit. Read more about it here ....
