[webkit-qt] [Qt] Strong performance degradation with DirectFB since r122720

[Brianceau, Julien]

Hi Zoltan,

Thank you for your answer.

Here are the results with Qt5 on another board (a less powerful one : STi7105 with sh4 arch) :

-          using Qt 5 with QPA DirectFB platform

-          using qtwebkit based on r126284 :

            commit c311cf639cc1d6570d67b0a80a8ba04dc992a658

            Imported WebKit commit 35255d8c2fd37ba4359e75fe0ebe6aec87687f9c (http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit/trunk@126284)


-          using the same qtwebkit with changeset 122720 reverted


With r126284 based webkit version, I get 11,3 displayed fps, with a CPU usage of more than 95%
With r126284 based webkit version with changeset 122720 reverted, I get 25,6 displayed fps, with a CPU usage of about 90%

Regarding http://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-qt/2012-February/002470.html, I think we can keep QPixmap as native image type, and use webkit image decoders as well.

Cheers,

Julien

Hi Julien,

There are several reasons, please check the mail archive and the related bug entries.

Thread about the discussion: http://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-qt/2012-February/002470.html

Can you verify this results with Qt5 as well?

Cheers,
Zoltan

Hello all,

I wonder why this changeset has been made : http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/122720

QPixmap and QImage are not the same with QPA platforms plugins (e.g. DirectFB).

To give you an idea of the performance issue, I performed the following test on my ST armv7 board :

-          using a Qt 4.8 using QPA with DirectFB platform

-          using WebKit r122719 and r122720

-          using this URL : http://www.craftymind.com/factory/guimark3/bitmap/GM3_JS_Bitmap.html in a QWebView sized to 1280x720 (with webkit 1 build)

With r122719, I get 50,7 displayed fps with a CPU usage of about 25%
With r122720, I fall to 25,3 displayed fps with a CPU usage of more than 90%

Is it possible to revert this commit, or at last provide a compilation option to keep QPixmap as native images ?

Please ask if you need further information,

Julien
