Details

(Keywords: perf)

nsResourceProtocolHandler.cpp and nsResProtocolHandler.cpp both use popen() to get the current working directory, and which causes a fork/exec() pair or two at startup.
Keywords: perf
No one cares about nsResourceProtocolHandler.cpp -- it's obsolete. The whole chunk of code for unix that does this popen stuff should be replaced by a directory service call that deals with MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME, etc.
Target Milestone: M15
should nsResourceProtocolHandler.cpp and friends be "cvs removed" then, so that lxr searches on the seamonkey tip don't pick them up?
Yes. Please cvs rm it.
Moving non-essential, non-beta2 and performance-related bugs to M17.
