I agree, that's why we have autobuffer and why Firefox behaves as it does. > Are there situations where Firefox slows or stops preloading of media when > there is danger of the page user losing the ability to interact because of lack > of bandwidth/cpu? Yes. We have a limit on the size of data we preload, in a typical configuration it's 50MB. So if you have some large media files that have 'autobuffer', we will download them until their combined size reaches about 50MB, and then we'll pause the downloads until some of the data has been played or some of the elements are destroyed. Downloads generally shouldn't stress the CPU. We should probably throttle bandwidth used by autobuffering, but we haven't gotten around to that yet. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
