Safari Stress Test

Another headache inducing article:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/SharkUserGuid e/OtherProfilingandTracingTechniques/chapter5_section2.html

So when are you starting that new thread - which is an excellent idea.

I googled for that but did not find anything really useful. Apparently it has to do with loading 30 identical tabs at once.

Why not click on Stress Test in the debug menu and then report back with results?! 😀

It just loads random sites in the same tab... Could be a developers/third party test. Where the URLs come from is beyond me.

May be it does nothing. May be an engineer put it in there just to stress us out...thinking...what does this thing do.......That's all we need is more stress in our lives...

Your advice is noted!

I have a policy of never clicking on a menu option if I don't know what it does!

Another one I won't experiment with is 'Use Shark for profiling'!

No idea what that does....

From your link I found this:

http://groups.google.co.zm/group/comp.sys.mac.apps/browse_thread/thread/028a39b7 db72ca22/36dae1560294de3a

You seem to have started something....

What we need is an Apple Knowledge Base article on what all the Debug Menu items actually do.

Debug Menu

- Open Page With
- User Agent
- Turn Off Site-Specific Hacks
- Show Web Inspector
- Show Render Tree
- Show View Tree
- Force Repaint
- Show Snippet Editor
- Show Caches Window
- Use Transparent Windows
- Show Page Load Test Window
- Always Check for World Leaks
- Use Back/Forward Cache
- Use Threaded Image Decoding
- Use ATSU For All Text
- Log Javascript Exceptions
- Show Javascript Console
- Enable Runaway Javascript Timer
- Enable DOM Paste API
- Keyboard Shortcuts
- Start Profiling With Sample
- Stop Profiling With Sample
- Use Shark for Profiling
- Start Stress Test
- Populate History
- Go to about: blank Soon
- Turn Off RSS Support...

I think that all of them. Some are obvious, but then again.

That's all we need is more stress in our lives...

You mean apart from reading the suicide notes in the Safari forums? 😉

Anyone ever studied this?

Sometimes it's mental stress just venturing into these forums.

I'm going to post a new thread...*What is, use Shark for profiling?*
