sooo, benchmarks: i tracked the time that occurs between mouse click and the return of setExpanded, which is reasonably near to the popup actually appearing (numbers consistent doing things more than once) this is done on a fairly fast machine, would be interesting to do the same on a really slow one, like the pinebook Kickoff: no preload, before incubator removal: 279 msecs Kickoff: no preload, after incubator removal: 211 msec Kickoff: with preload: 15 msecs (the first time still takes some tme to build all the nodes and texture, second time 0 msecs) digital clock (with akonadi integration which makes the graphics a bit more complex) digital clock: no preload, before incubator removal: 739 msecs digital clock, no preload , after incubator removal: 234 msecs digital clock, preload: 46 msecs (graphically quite complex, takes a more to create all textures, second time is 0 as usual) media player: no preload, before incubator removal: 148 msecs media player, no preload , after incubator removal: 89 msec media player, preload: 0 msecs (graphics simple enough for texture creation to not register?) Clipboard, no preload , before incubator removal: 191 msec Clipboard, no preload , after incubator removal: 79 msec Clipboard, preload: 0 msec kicker: no preload, after incubator removal: 79 msecs kicker: preload: 9 msec REPOSITORY R242 Plasma Framework (Library) REVISION DETAIL https://phabricator.kde.org/D10512 To: mart, #plasma Cc: davidedmundson, broulik, apol, ngraham, plasma-devel, #frameworks, michaelh, ZrenBot, progwolff, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, jensreuterberg, abetts, sebas, mart
