+++ This bug is an upstream to downstream clone. The original bug is: +++

======================================================================

This is a tracker bug for all oVirt UI performance improvements.

Fixes should be targeted to 4.0, if possible.

Comment 1 rhev-integ 2016-12-14 04:03:50 EST
Target release should be placed once a package build is known to fix a issue. Since this bug is not modified, the target version has been reset. Please use target milestone to plan a fix for a oVirt release.

> Status: POST → MODIFIED

This bug was originally meant to collect all kinds of post-memory-leak-fix improvements.

Currently, it has 4 IE-specific patches associated. None of them is merged into master, so moving back to POST.

If we wish to proceed with those 4 IE-specific patches (only), maybe we should rename this bug.

Comment 4 rhev-integ 2016-12-14 04:04:02 EST
All IE-specific patches verified on local Engine (master) build using IE11 / Windows 8.1 (thanks to Pavel Novotny).

Comment 9 Pavel Novotny 2017-03-02 13:00:38 EST
Verified in 
rhevm-4.0.7.4-0.1.el7ev.noarch

Browser: Internet Explorer 11 @ Windows 8.1 Pro (4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM)
RHEVM environment: 1 DC, 2 clusters, 1 host, 2 NFS storages (1 data, 1 export), 41 VMs (blank, w/o OS installed, 4 of them Up).

I ran a test in a loop, where it went through the main tabs and then opened & closed the New VM dialog.
After each pass I wrote down the memory usage from Developer Tools / Memory / Profiling session - Process memory usage (private bytes).
I compared the data against the latest release rhevm-4.0.6.3-0.1.el7ev, see the chart attached.

With 4.0.6, the maximum I managed to run was 6 passes before reaching a RAM usage ~1.6 GB.
This seems to be the browser limit, where it becomes unresponsive beyond usability and the app. eventually freezes or crashes.
The 6 passes took 43 minutes (indeed).

With 4.0.7, I managed to run 9 passes before reaching the 1.6 GB RAM usage.
To compare with 4.0.6, 6 passes took 13 minutes. All 9 passes took 19 minutes.
