Hello, 
I updated today from 2.44 to 2.45 (selenium-server-standalone-2.45.0.jar). ran my tests
on firefox (35) . The running time has grown by 100%. When I rolled back to 2.44 it
fixed the problem. My tests run mainly inside iFrames , but not only.
Thank you.



Selenium version:2.45
OS:Windows7
Browser:Firefox 
Browser version: 35.0.1

Hi, the performance degradation is also on Windows - making it impossible to work with.
Please fix... 

Its priority is defiantly not medium  - should be High.

Thanks!

We do watch build time on the Selenium CI server, and we know for sure that not all
environments are subject to this issue. See e.g. [1], [2], [3] -- there is no sign
of performance degradation.

Yes, there is a problem. And we appeal to the community -- if the priority is really
high please spend more time to help us identify exact conditions where it appears,
and may be even produce a patch to fix it. You're welcome to the open source world
:)
