Here's performance test results comparing a standard Navigator to one with the overlay for securityOverlay.xul commented out: ----- base/modern ----- 00008.188: ...main1 00008.078: ...main1 00008.343: ...main1 ----- noSecurityOverlay/modern ----- 00008.156: ...main1 00008.078: ...main1 00008.297: ...main1 avg1=8.203000 avg2=8.177000 diff=0.026000 (0.316957%) ----- base/modern ----- 00008.171: ...main1 00008.328: ...main1 00008.203: ...main1 ----- noSecurityOverlay/modern ----- 00008.172: ...main1 00008.109: ...main1 00008.031: ...main1 avg1=8.234000 avg2=8.104000 diff=0.130000 (1.578820%) ----- base/modern ----- 00008.125: ...main1 00008.219: ...main1 00008.063: ...main1 ----- noSecurityOverlay/modern ----- 00008.157: ...main1 00008.125: ...main1 00008.093: ...main1 avg1=8.135667 avg2=8.125000 diff=0.010667 (0.131110%) The savings varied widely, from negligible to 1.58%). Needs further analysis to determine the actual savings. To realize this gain, we'd have to defer loading this overlay till we hit a secure page. That could likely be done with some JS and .xbl/.css magic. On hold pending further measurement and decision as to whether to pursue some sort of overlay-free chrome packaging scheme.
