RE: Firefox performance

Dimitri,

I am using the latest version of Doxygen 1.4.4 and the latest version of
Firefox 1.0.6 in Windows XP SP2. And I am still finding that IE (version
6) outperforms firefox by far. Do you have any clue why this is? This is
only really apparent on a large project. 

Nikolay

Interesting!

For quite some time (i.e more than 2 years) doxygen uses a completely
different way of producing the tree view. Doxygen now generates all
output in HTML form and uses a single Javascript function to toggle
opening and closing of folders. So any performance issues mentioned in
this bug report do not apply anymore!
