Jud's issues with string bundles, and a discussion with Bill yesterday, made me realize that we're spending some of our startup time opening and parsing the bookmarks file.. in reality, this should be an async operation that goes on in the background, hopefully on another thread, and does not stop the main thread from proceding forward. What we should do is kick off a URL load at startup, and as data arrives from the load, we parse it, and build up the in-memory datasource. This means that the first window can appear before bookmarks are even loaded! (this might confuse the personal toolbar if we're still having problems building up toolbar content on-the-fly but that's the subject of another bug)

alec, can you take a look at this for moz 0.9 or 1.0? We're reading entire bookmark file before we diaplay the first window. It would be great if we can load bookmark asynchronously, or delay loading the book mark till after first window shows.

Along the way of doing startup analysis, I can't see where this is eating too many cycles. Certainly on my admittitly small amount of bookmarks, loading doesn't take very long, ~50ms. Also, bookmarks load during loading of navigator.xul, so I think it's instantiated at the correct place also. Marking nsbeta1- and future

I've seen bookmarks being high up on profiles with really big bookmark files. There are people out there with thousands of bookmarks and I would expect that to be many seconds of startup time.
nav triage team: This isn't going to make the mozilla0.9.4 train. Pushing out to mozilla1.0.1

Ok, I don't think this is as important since we got delayed loading bookmarks. Also, async loading will make loading bookmarks take even longer. Marking mozilla1.0.1 and adding helpwanted

Target Milestone: mozilla0.9.7 → mozilla1.0.1
how would async loading take "longer"?
