* SUMMARY Working with the Timelines panel there are a lot of performance issues. There are many forced layouts, multi-second hangs, and it can be unresponsive to user actions. * STEPS TO REPRODUCE - 1 1. Inspect apple.com 2. Start a timeline recording 3. Focus the search field in the top right of the page 4. Type "test string" => everything is slow during the recording 5. Stop recording 6. Select the Script or Layout timeline => hangs for a very long time

Created attachment 235555 [details] [PATCH] Proposed Fix This is meant to reduce the number of obviously unnecessary forced layouts. I think there is still work to be done to improve the performance even more during a recording, but I think this is big step forward both during a recording and post-recording when using the timelines.
Comment on attachment 235555 [details] [PATCH] Proposed Fix Awesome!
Comment on attachment 235555 [details] [PATCH] Proposed Fix Ugh, some typos in the ChangeLog I want to fix before landing. Will wait for review.
Created attachment 235560 [details] [PATCH] Proposed Fix Better. It turns out showEmptyPlaceholder could also benefit from the early return if nothing changed. This is another huge win if the time range selection doesn't start at 0.0. Otherwise we would have hit the same forced layout loop calling this over and over. Note, the messages is always the same so maybe we can simplify this a bit more.
