Continuous disc activity when NetSurf running (RISC OS)

2014-12-01 Thread Peter Young
Has any other user of RISC OS NetSurf found that there is continuous 
disc activity while a development build is running? I've just reported 
this on the bug tracker.

Best wishes,

Peter.

Is this not simply Netsurf writing out to the Cache after each page
is loaded?

#2410 seems OK, so after that version.

No, I'm not using the disc cache.

Possibly related; in #2412 I have just seen a new, to me, Warning from
NetSurf "Disc cache write bandwidth is too slow to be useful, disabling
cache."

Same here too, but no continuous disk activity that I can hear. Baffling!

When I saw it happen last night it was with version 2410.

Disc cache updates

2014-12-01 Thread Vincent Sanders
The disc cache has recently been updated to track the speed of write
operations.

The implementation of this briefly introduced a bug generating
excessive logging (seen as heavy disc writing and cpu load) which has
been squished and CI build #2413 should not have the problem.

As a result of this performance tracking The browser will now detect
if a system cannot sustain a write speed of one Megabit (120kilobytes
/ second) the cache will disable itself and display a warning.

If this continues to occur the cache is simply not useful on that
system and should be configured off (by setting the cache size to 0)

The Megabit limit is a practical value derived from
experimentation. It in envisaged that the lower disc bandwidth may be
tuneable in future based on the users network connection but this needs
investigation and careful checking.

Fixed today, very promptly. Many thanks, Vincent.

Best wishes,
