Hi, I'm facing a strange behavior of Mozilla 1.7 - as provided by Sun - on Solaris 10 (Sparc) boxes running Java desktop (I did not yet check if it applies to x86 or amd64 boxes, too):
The GUI performance (e.g. time between changing focus from one window to another) was vary good until I've set up LDAP authentication on our network. Since then it takes hours (well some seconds ...) to change the focus from one window to another if Mozilla is active on any virtual desktop. During this time frame the CPU load (measured using vmstat) is at 100%. Performance - and the CPU load - becomes better again if Mozilla is iconized. I already tried Suns patch 120099-06 which claims to reduce LDAP requests, but it doesn't help. The machine I'm facing this on is a SunBlade 2000 with 2 750Mhz processors and 1GB of memory installed. I've also noticed a significant decrease in performance in another network I'm running. Over there we have - still - NIS+ instead of LDAP. Until now I thought that the slower Ultra 30 boxes over there simply would be overloaded, but the experience with the SunBlade here paints another picture. Has anybody seen this before? Any comments are mostly welcome .... ;-) Jens This message posted from opensolaris.org
