Description Michael Catanzaro 2019-04-24 08:38:08 PDT 
Sometime since 2.24, the amount of time required to create a web view has shot up quite noticeably. Previously view creation was instantaneous, but now there's a very noticeable delay. We'd almost want to make it async if it's going to need to take this long.

2.24.1 is unaffected.

I haven't noticed anything. Could you start bisect?
Comment 2 Michael Catanzaro 2019-04-24 14:07:58 PDT 
Hm, well actually I can't reproduce anymore. Strange. If I notice it again, I'll reopen and try to bisect.
Comment 3 Michael Catanzaro 2019-05-12 15:43:30 PDT 
It's back. Bisecting....
Comment 4 Michael Catanzaro 2019-05-12 19:23:37 PDT 
I'm still bisecting but it's looking like the problem commit is most likely going to be somewhere between r243094 (which introduced a crash on startup) and r243231 (which fixed it). That'll be a little annoying but I'll try to sort through it tomorrow.

Regression is introduced by r243094.

This is sort of expected I guess, because we don't have PSON enabled and aren't prewarming the processes as required.

It will be very important to get PSON enabled and working.

Hopefully this is fixed now that PSON is enabled. I'll check in Epiphany after 2.25.2 is released.

Fixed indeed, thanks Carlos!
