[jQuery] [ListNav] Solution to a severe performance problems with jQuery/ListNav and the Blueprint CSS framework
Hi,
[reposted, didn't appear in archives... sorry for the noise]
I've encountered, and worked around, a rendering performance problem
in WebKit based browsers.
I'm working on a webapp and a particular uncontrived page is rendered
by FireFox in about 0.5s while Safari takes about 12s -- that's about
20 times slower. And 12s is way too long from any user's point of view.
I really don't know how jQuery/ListNav and the Blueprint CSS
stylesheet are interacting, and I certainly don't know whose 'fault'
it is, but I do know it can be avoided by applying the style sheet
after ListNav has finished doing it's thing on the page.
I've written in more detail about this on my weblog:
