Or, if this is now absolutely an Apple issue could someone please post here or somewhere with a link here a way to verbalize the error we are to allege the OS is making for bug reporting through ADC? My thinking is that Firefox could probably be enhanced further but Apple has a huge performance problem on PowerPC machines that needs to be addressed.įor others with larger bookmarks files will there be a caveat or part of the "read me" to say one should scale bookmarks files down to such and such a size? Even when the same file size worked fluidly with Safari or FF under 10.4? Something that was instantaneous takes 5 minutes to happen now. Using a certain Java-based application is even worse. It seems to be 2 - 4 times as slow as 10.4.10 for me. Part of the problem is that 10.5.x has extremely reduced performance on many PowerPC machines. > BTW, is anyone else seeing this anomaly with any other applications in Leopard? > alleged errors in the OS so that others w/ PPC machines and ADC access can > this end, then please post a concise and constructive description of the > If it is believed that the bugs in FF/Minefield are as cleaned up as can be on > and SATA drives.so hardware not a bottleneck. > Partitions on the same Machine: MDD dual 1.25 Ghz, 2 GB Ram (no page outs), > 10.5.2 = between 20-25 seconds first click on "Help" menu. > 10.4.11 = instant open of help menu and check for updates > profile and imported from html bookmarks, so not exactly the same file, but > (I say same size as Minefield was choking/quiting on old profile, created new > Same size bookmark file tested on old 10.4.11 vs. So indexing is still very slow (read: hang), but it does stop eventually. However Recent Tags still is a mess, and produces a very large menu, containing several copies of the Bookmarks Menu. In the recent nightlies, some changes were made to prevent infinite menus like this ( bug 424884, the self reference is not expanded anymore). As Apple indexes the main menu bar for the search field in the Help, this led to a never ending hang. In the past, that garbage included a self reference and generated an infinite menu. On PPC the default Recent Tags item gets you garbage. So the crasher is not solved yet, but it does not occur as often as it did before march 11.Īlso about the hang, to me it's clear what the situation is (on PPC).
I have edited my Recent Tags item to avoid the hang. The (real) crasher I reported in Comment # 138 was using a nightly from the previous day (2008040704), when I tried to open the Help menu to check for the new nightly. Thanks all for continued efforts / attention to this, and all of FF! I do have a student ADC membership, and have filed bugs when I was able to inteligently explain it. I'm not savy enough to file a bug re: the menu but if we want to turn up the volume I'd be happy to file one if someone can come up with some boilerplate text that we can submit. Unlike the open Bugzilla system, I don't believe we can look at or follow his individual reports.
Xbench for powerpc mac os x#
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh U PPC Mac OS X 10.5 en-US rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008040804 Minefield/3.0preĢ) Above Christiaan gave us his bug report. Maybe they're not just being patient enough for it to return to working, because at first it was showing "unresponsive" in the Activity Monitor w/ a Spinning Beachball. As of the latest build, the spinning beach ball doesn't show, and my delay is considerably reduced on the first click, and significantly reduced on subsequent clicks of the "help" menu. A few days ago I had 42 second delays on first and subsequent clicks of the 'Help" menu. There is obviously changes at work here, the behavior keeps changing. The application, not the computer, locks up. Spinning SquaresĒ10.49đ47.Are people claiming crashes just not being patient enough? and are they testing the latest nightlies? Sure, FFb5 did actually crash for me, but the latest Minefield nightlies do not. Here's the results, each test run 3 times: Make of this what you will, I havent seen any benches of Q2DX in Tiger yet so I thought I would post one. I did a quick test with xbench ( yes, I know it's not really a great BM program ) but I thought it might at least give a result as to the effect Quartz 2D Extreme has or does not have.
