Description Carlos Alberto Lopez Perez 2019-10-28 17:21:04 PDT
The WPT tests encoding/legacy-mb-korean/euc-kr take too much in WebKitGTK. Like 5x more times than with other browsers.

An example of such test is: https://w3c-test.org/encoding/legacy-mb-korean/euc-kr/euckr-decode-ksc5601.html

On the WebKitGTK MiniBrowser it takes around 2 minutes to execute, but on other browsers (firefox, chrome) it executes in less than 15 seconds.

Note that the issue is only reproducible from a cold run. If the page is reloaded, then the second time it loads faster.

I have run perf over the WebProcess and it seems the biggest issue is by far the call to FcFontMatch inside FontCache::systemFallbackForCharacters()

Another test is just loading this page https://w3c-test.org/encoding/legacy-mb-korean/euc-kr/euckr_chars-ksc5601.html and checking that it draws the characters correctly and the time it takes to load.

Looking at the blame log it looked like r229164 could be related. So I checked to build WebKitGTK on r229163 and r229164
and check the load times of https://w3c-test.org/encoding/legacy-mb-korean/euc-kr/euckr_chars-ksc5601.html
(from a cold start and loading the html from disk to avoid network latencies)


r229163  7 seconds
r229164 13 seconds
r251384 30 seconds


So, r229164 caused the first regression of almost a 100%, and this further regressed more after that.
I still don't know which revision(s) caused the second regression, probably its worth bisecting.

The one that caused this second regression (from 13 seconds to 30 seconds) it seems it was r230559

I can get the 13 seconds performance back by running minibrowser (on r251384) with the env var WEBKIT_FORCE_COMPLEX_TEXT=0

Amazing patch! Now the test takes just only 3 seconds. At least a 10x improvement! :)
