dillo slower than iceweasel on some pages

[Andreas Kemnade]

Hi,

I made a shocking experience when visiting pages like
http://www.wetteronline.de/wetter/berlin

hg tip dillo takes 45 seconds.

The last release takes a few seconds.
Starting a fresh iceweasel I need around 17 seconds. I hope there is
still much room to optimize and there is a possibility to have a fast
browser even with floats.

Yes, the current development version has still performance issues
(mainly due to floats). We are working on this; the next release 3.1
should be as fast as you'd expect.

Hi,

the next release 3.1 should be as fast as you'd expect.

When can this release be expected? Is there a chance that a reasonably
stable version is available before November?

Background: The freeze for the next Debian Stable release will be in
November and Dillo 3.1 needs to be uploaded to Debian Unstable
beforehand to become part of Debian's next Stable release. :-)

Kind regards, Axel

For those times when we just need to get our information quickly -- to fill
in the gap while floats/grows are being optimised -- I just copied over the
changes since 3.0.4 that don't involve floats or grows into
http://flpsed.org/hgweb/eocene_persistent_connections/

I didn't try to be exceedingly careful when doing this, but it appears to
be working so far.
