           Summary: Symbian port: JS Date operations very slow due to
                    flaky POSIX date/time implementation
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: S60 Hardware
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: JavaScriptCore
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: siddharth.mathur at nokia.com
                CC: hausmann at webkit.org, laszlo.1.gombos at nokia.com


Bypass use of POSIX APIs in Date related operation and use Symbian OS APIs
directly. 

I am preparing a small patch for getUTCOffset() and getDSTOffset() in
JavascriptCore/WTF/DateMath.cpp that only affects Symbian platform. The current
implementation of the above functions uses Symbian's PIPS (standard C
implementation) which works too slowly when arbitrary date/time are given to it
(due to parsing of historical TimeZone databases and more) . 

Patch follows soon.
