Comment 31 for bug 42683

well, i'm not sure, it'd be nice if someone who has a profiler available could test it and find out (preferably 4 profiles: unpatched local server, unpatched remote server, patched local server, unpatched remote server).

i'm expecting they're fairly bad. in which case i'm willing to add code which only calls flush if we can detect that the server is local or a certain pref/env var is set. i'll only do this if someone is willing to accept that change. basically it would mean that users who don't want to crash, or who won't get much of a perf penalty would be protected by this code and people who would get a performance hit would have to opt for it or retain their current crashable state.

i think that minimo would want this :).
