webkit reduced page load time on high-latency networks by starting all external media (images and css) network loads prior to doing any evaluation of script. I quickly looked at if mozilla did something similar, but I am not sure we do. My test case was pretty simple, a document containing one script tag, and and image: <html> <head> <script src="http://10.1.1.1/wait_forever.js";></script> </head> <img src="test.jpg"> <p> </html> Then I look at the network connection (via live http headers). I am sure ngrep would also work. What I see is a request goes out for the document, then a request for the script goes out which eventually times out. After the timeout, i see the request for the image. Should we do something similar? Is there a better solution? _______________________________________________ dev-tech-network mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-network
