Przemyslaw Jaskierski commented on RF-1415:
-------------------------------------------

Ilya, the issue you are reffering to is a "wontfix" so I just provided this one with a different suggestion on alternative rendering mode as a Feature Request. Having reliable Modal Panel would be a great, wicked-cool feature, but in it's current state it practically cannot be used. 6/8 computers in my environment has critical performance problems with rendering trivial MP. And these are far more better than average Joe's PCs.

With all the respect, putting this problem aside will hurt integrators as soon as RF adoption will grow and larger audience will access services built using RF...

Please reconsider this.

Thank you for your hard work,
Przemek.

> Looks like the underlying shadow, translucent layer below and too complex rendering makes this component unusable for sites with wide audience. It's to risky that it will kill user's browser for 5-10 seconds (real time for simple modal panel on some linux boxes (Core Duo 2,1 Ghz amongst them)). On a Windows box with a 1.2 Ghz processor it renders 2-4 seconds. 
> Konqueror renders this Modal Panel extremely fast (<1 second) - it ignores background transparency and it maybe helps here...
> This problem has been confirmed here (no, it's not Firefox bug, Opera behaves exactly in the same way):

> This lightweight mode could be forced by an attribute - c'mon what's useful here is that it pops up with embedded :include tag... It doesn't have to be pretty and have cool gradient etc.
