Re: [orca-list] Broken Gecko script

[Joanmarie Diggs <joanmarie diggs gmail com>]

Hi Hermann.

I just ripped out the new table logic.  That admittedly did quite a bit 
of checking.  Given a long page with a few "data" tables that needed to 
be checked for misidentification as data tables, there would indeed be a 
performance hit.

I'm not noticing the recognition of lists being any slower.  All that 
change involved is seeing if a given list happened to be focusable 
before deciding it was the next/previous list.  That's negligible. What 
I did see on the dradio.de page is general sluggishness.  Long pages 
take a while to traverse in the quest for a desired item.  But I'll keep 
looking at this latter issue.

In general, finding ways to make web access "peppier" is definitely on 
our radar!

Thanks.
Joanie
