hi all,
just as an experiment last days i've been playing with the web browser to see
if some speed issues and interaction bugs can be fixed by changing how the
rendering goes on.
(basically by letting webkit doing the scrolling instead of having a giant
element with the whole page painted in it)
the result is mart/webbrowseractualscroll
is still pretty buggy, but it seems to already work way better and be
basically in par with rekonq as speed, ie still not perfect, but way better
than the current one, especially for large complex pages.
i'll now leave that branch as it is for a while, until we go for a web browser
little sprint.
in the meantime if someone can give it a try to see if the findings are
confirmed (ie faster than the current one and the mouse cursor doesn't get
anymore "stick" to the page) would be great
(by building from sources on a desktop, definitely won't be packaged ;)
Cheers,
Marco Martin
