Bug 30293 – [Qt] performance regressions on loading page after ImageDecoderQt changes

• Component: WebCore Misc.
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Holger Freyther]

The old and new code has been executed on the same data and 30 iterations each. The majority of cases are faster, some show a regression we should need to understand. The point of this bug is to understand the cause of this regression.

This does not happen anymore. I will have to redo tests and verify the /etc/hosts.

Current loading speed regressions

Current update. This is coming where everything is locally served. We are seeing 12 cases that seem to be slower than before. The problem is QBENCHMARK is not really good for statistics. If one loading took extremely long our whole result is screwed..

[Benjamin Poulain]

Do you remember what you are comparing against?
I don't have regressions compared to 4.6.2.

[Benjamin Poulain]

The benchmarks are now run regularily. Image loading in with 4.7 if faster than with 4.6.
