I am currently investigating bugs in the handling of ROWSPAN. Also, my impression is that performance has badly degraded for tables with many rows.
Degraded since previous dillo2 or dillo1 version?
Since dillo2 a few months ago. I have a script that scrapes a lot of RSS feeds and builds a two-column HTML table with small cells but a *lot* of rows. Looking at that page with Dillo, if I drag the window around it thrashes the CPU. Also, dragging a selection is *extremely* slow: it takes 0.5-1 second to highlight/unhighlight *each* cell. I'm pretty sure (though I have not yet made sure) that this poor rendering performance appeared quite recently.
Please send the test cases and their detected problems.
I'll submit tests and fixes for the ROWSPAN bug in a new thread, then look at rendering performance. Regards, Jeremy Henty
