Counter with DOM

We want a long running application write events to an monitor in an applet. The applet writes it

in an HTML-Page.

As a litte study we have an litte applet counting from 1..n n=1000, n=100000.

CPU:

  model name      : Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 - M CPU 2.20GHz
  cpu MHz         : 2193.224
  cache size      : 512 KB

Software:

Older Conf: j2eesdk-1.4.2

Optical: on the terminal (stderr) where mozilla is started, appear a call:xxxxxxx (In all versions using lifeconnect)

It seems for each lifeconnect call after 321 calls for liveconnect services
The first is ~ 9130
The counter is jumping in case of getElementById-Call in increments of 16th and in case of setAttributes in increments of 11.

After 4977 calls of getElementById the browser is in a livelock, a java_vm needs all the CPU-Power

strace -p (on this cpu burning thread) results in an endless sequence of

       read(9, 0x2f6e7573, 32)                 = -1 EFAULT (Bad address)

The filehandle 9 seems the socket from mozilla to java_vm

/proc/6785> ls -l fd/9
lrwx------    1 rw       users          64 2004-03-30 19:16 fd/9 -> socket:[394756]
