I wanted to give this a little more exposure. Bug 313813
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213813 contains a patch that
has been reported to significantly increase DHTML performance. You can
read the details in the patch. The patch should speed up any case where
JavaScript makes repeated calls to relatively inexpensive native methods
on objects. Especially complex objects with many methods and/or interfaces.

I'm particular interested in other areas this might benefit.

The patch isn't final yet. Some research needs to be done to see what
the optimal cache settings are.

If anyone can try out the patch and report back, it would be much
appreciated.

A link to the modified release version XPConnect dll for Windows is
available in bug 212831
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=212831 for Windows users
that might want to try this out without having to rebuild things.

Thanks,
David Bradley
