Re: [Meego-handset] [N900] Fennec pre-starting
Actually on N900 I don't the we are CPU bound, we are memory bound. Those whole beast is too big and this we start to swap out parts while loading ... Just an idea without really checking the build code. Has anybody checked the list of extensions/and/or support for plugin API's that are included on fennec builds? For example to check whether things like support for java plugin (nsapi, etc..) are included in build. If yes, I think they could be dropped for now at least on n900 case. It's been a while when I worked with minimo, but I remember that even the build times could be reduces a lot by dropping features not really needed for browsing. So propably it would also have some impact on memory usage... Mika ___ MeeGo-handset mailing list MeeGo-handset@lists.meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-handset

An idea with merit. I want to see if I can get to a point where I can talk
about the issues coherently first.
FYI, here's a small snippet from #mobile on irc.mozilla.org:
who is the best contact to point MeeGo people to when they want
to work on improving startup speed of Fennec on MeeGo N900 Developer
Edition? I'd guess any ideas coming out of talks of the two sides (us
and them) together could help all of the mobile story
KaiRo: taras?
and glandium
honestly, the n900 is so slow that there's not much we can do
except making xul faster
[...]
KaiRo, there are active meego contributors working on patches
for fennec
still, don't want to disturb discussions here, just wanted to
see if there's something where I can help them by providing a contact
KaiRo, if you have a meego device and can do some testing, you
should file some bugs too
too early to tell, but right now, i think that idea is dead.
KaiRo, as I said - contact via IRC, email and more
importantly, bugs+patches
"taras" is Taras Glek (tglek), "glandium" is Mike Hommey, both of them
have investigated startup for both Firefox and Fennec a lot recently.
(mfinkle and dougt are two leading people of our mobile team at Mozilla.)
Also, in the current DE snapshots, Fennec feels a _lot_ faster at
startup than on any of the previous MeeGo 1.2 images I tested (also see
the message from Anssi on "UX Response Time measurements" that confirms
that with numbers).
I remember that glandium once told me that startup on the N900 is mostly
CPU-bound, and so it's really hard to improve there. One thing to not is
that on any Linux system, actually using shared libraries with the rest
of the system ("system libraries") helps startup, while using the
Mozilla built-in libraries slows down, because it can't reuse already
loaded libraries. In that light, I hope MeeGo is - like most other
distros - using system libraries where possible.
That said, I hope that helps a bit for now as far as contacts go,
dropping into #mobile on irc.mozilla.org, esp. during US work hours, can
usually get a lot of questions about Fennec answered - though they are
not that much interested in MeeGo on the N900, unsurprisingly, given
that it's an old and relatively slow device nowadays, MeeGo will even be
a niche for N900, and in the eyes of most of the world, Nokia has killed
MeeGo (we might see that differently, but convincing people on that is
hard). Still, if people from the MeeGo side are willing to do the work,
they are surely willing to help and give pointers where possible - even
if that might be hard when it comes to startup speed.

Is there still work to be done regarding bug,
https://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8664?
First of all we are loading home page which is related to about:xxx
protocol, and that protocol by default loaded in UI process, and if that
page having some JS/network related content it might freeze browser UI,
this is the reason why fennec typing does not work even if it is
visible (about:firefox page has sync stuff, extensions checking et.c.)
I guess redirect to non-about: page will fix it, also if you load some
local page like, /usr/share/fennec/home.html it is going to be much more
responsive.
Second - fennec resizing on startup... not sure if it still the
problem... but before I've seen some bunch of resize events.
it make sense to run oprofile on N900 meego and check what is the real
reason of slow startup, on Android startup taking 3-5 second sometime
even faster, on Harmattan it is 5 seconds (in 5 seconds you can type
into url bar)
Br, Oleg
From a user point of view the issue is not only startup time, but the
delay between UI appearing and being able to actually input URL. The
whole process still takes way too much time, and led me to not
demoing Fennec in MeeGo Summit for example even though I really
wanted since there has been good progress lately.

Hi,
no even on much much more powerful devices startup takes still up to
10 seconds in worstcase. Its a systematical issue. Within android
firefox bestcase startup time is around 3-5 seconds iirc.

Re: [Meego-handset] [N900] Fennec pre-starting
Hi,
Carsten, was this with old fennec?
Jeremias, is this still possible with new (current) fennec? Also, do we have
enough memory in N900 to prestart fennec or are will the device be running low
on memory if we do so? Any other issues in prestarting?
BR,
Vesku

[Meego-handset] [N900] Fennec pre-starting
Hi,
I had an item on my todo to describe how to do faststart/prestarting
in Fennec. My old package is broken so can't just as easily make a
patch but here's steps for someone to implement:
Add to mozconfig.(x86, arm):
ac_add_options --enable-faststart
Add file fennec-faststart.desktop to package:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Fennec faststart
Exec=/usr/bin/fennec -faststart-hidden
Terminal=False
Type=Application
In %install phase, SOURCE6 should be whatever SOURCEX
fennec-faststart.desktop is.
mkdir -p %{buildroot}/etc/xdg/autostart
cp %{SOURCE6} %{buildroot}/etc/xdg/autostart/fennec-faststart.desktop
and then in %files add:
/etc/xdg/autostart/fennec-faststart.desktop
.. and that's prestarting of Fennec, back in the version I had.
/Carsten
