Problem even on desktop systems on my fairly beefy Windows 7 box, aĬold startup takes upwards of 12 seconds (!) warm startup is also Which is why IO is part of the capture above. Thisĭirectly points to IO being a major component of our startup time, Off the disk, and it doesn't have to hit the disk again. When you've launched Firefox before, the OS caches a bunch of the data "warm" startup is significantly faster than "cold" startup that is, One thing that's fairly obvious with playing with startup is that Create tools to visualize the captured data in a way that's easy to Add instrumentation to firefox to identify "big blocks" of startup Create tools to capture both JS execution during startup, as well as

Document how to reproducibly get a cold and warm startup on zpao (Paul O'Shannessy), ddahl (Davidĭahl), and I have been working towards a few goals: Look at our startup time, to both understand what we all do, and toįigure out how to improve it. Shortly before our office move, we kicked off an effort to take a hard The purge command on Linux, echo 3> /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches, requires root privileges. Gotta do these steps before each start to simulate cold start. Tool that's more flexible and might be faster, but that one should get Otherwise vista/7 will startĭoing its app preload acceleration stuff which will screw over the data Precache or preload or something, and there should be a firefox.exe-likeĭir inside it that you need to delete. Here are the details on getting a cold start (no FS cache) for perfįirst, if you're on Vista/7, you need to delete the preload cacheĭata. Notes Emails From Vlad on Startup Importance of Cold Start
