Description Tim Horton 2013-04-22 15:13:28 PDT
Some pages either have tons of subframes or dynamically add lots of plugins.

We're currently wasting a lot of time on every subframe load and every addPluginView doing primary plugin detection. Some things we can do to improve this:

* only start detecting after the main frame's didFinishLoad comes. This was intended to be in the original implementation, but we only wait for the first subframe's didFinishLoad instead :|

* only explicitly detect on the main frame's didFinishLoad (not subframes)

* coalesce calls to determinePrimarySnapshottedPlugInTimerFired from both addPluginView (in case JS is adding lots of plugins in a loop) and didFinishLoad

I'm not sure this is a 100% solution, but it should not regress primary plugin detection while improving performance greatly on some pages (http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/04/19/updates-on-aftermath-of-boston-marathon-explosions-2/).

You probably want to put the entire function body inside the #if.
