Mail Performance Results FAQ

mozilla.org > mailnews > performance

1.  How do I enable performance logging for Mail?
A.  See http://www.mozilla.org/mailnews/performance/msgcompose_loggin.html for full details.

2.  Is everything timed automatically?
A.  No, in fact only msg compose speed and new window time are automatic.  See question 1's answer to enable.

3.  How often can I expect this document to be updated?
A.  For Windows platforms, this should be updated weekly - Mac and Linux are bi-weekly.  Sometimes though, the schedule is off due to other demands.

4.  Why are the results for New Window Time and Message Reply Speed missing the 1st metric?
A.  We already know the reason for both of these being slow the 1st time - new window speed depends on bug 49141.  In order for us to effectively measure our portion, we need to average the subsequent times.
