Performance Issues on Firefox #45

Closed Riajyuu closed 6 years ago

Riajyuu commented 6 years ago

On Firefox, this addon significantly slows down file list loading on my laptop (8G A8 AMD & 8G RAM)

Can you provide more details? Like CPU or memory stats.

I observe around 2-3 seconds until the icons are loaded in Firefox. I wonder if this can be sped up by loading your content script earlier.

@silverwind Thanks for your suggestion! I just tried to use that property (its default value is "document_idle"), and here is the result.

Using "document_start":

  1. on Chrome: it doesn't work, the program can't select any element from the DOM.
  2. on Firefox: it works and improve the speed a lot, but sometimes it can't select any element from the DOM.

Using "document_end": It works for both browsers but doesn't improve the speed much (at least I can't feel any difference)

@silverwind any thought?

update: refer to the content.js from refined-github, I applied the same stategy they do and it works!

@Riajyuu @silverwind I just upload the new version v0.7.1 Please try it and see whether it improves the performance.

silverwind commented 6 years ago

Thanks, this is much better. Takes maybe a few hundret miliseconds now.
