Javascript performance: How to check what is slowing down the page?

Image
By User


I have a page which is very slow, not in loading, but in terms of the responsiveness of typing into the form fields on the page.



There is no ajax on the page - this is nothing to do with network transport.



What are good tools or strategies for discovering where the code bottlenecks are? I have found nothing in the chrome developer tools to tell me where the bottlenecks are.

    It sounds to me like you have some event firing on each key press on you input field.
    Things you can do :


    If Chrome's profiler doesn't fit your needs, try FireBug or IE9's profiler which is quite decent. In IE9 you can see how much CPU time was spent on each function call.
    Temporarily remove the handlers from the fields, one by one, and observe any changes in the performance.


    Let me know how it goes!

    Webkit has a 'profile' option. Open the developer tools (ctrl+shift+i) and click on 'Profiles'. From there you can see a record button (the circle) at the bottom. Click it and use your page as you normally would. Click it again to stop and inspect your timelines for your function calls!

    Alternatively you can benchmark functions individually using:

    console.time( "Some label" );
    console.timeEnd( "Some label" );

    I use firebug for these purposes. It includes a profiler.

Slow Android emulator

By User
I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
