If I have a large number of controls, an html page like the following takes 10 seconds to check the last box with 1.5.4 where the same page in 1.5.1.1230 is almost instantaneous...sadly there's a page in our app that is a wall of checkboxes...
This is the IRB command I used:
irb(main):016:0> s= Time.now.to_i; ie.checkbox(:name, 'custom_monetary_value10:config.admin.required999').set; puts Time.now.to_i -s
HTML snippet (I just used excel to quickly create the rows for a total of 1000):
<head><title>Test</title></head>
<table>
<tr><td> <INPUT type=checkbox name=custom_monetary_value10:config.admin.required1 ></td></tr>
<tr><td> <INPUT type=checkbox name=custom_monetary_value10:config.admin.required2 ></td></tr>
<tr><td> <INPUT type=checkbox name=custom_monetary_value10:config.admin.required3 ></td></tr>
<tr><td> <INPUT type=checkbox name=custom_monetary_value10:config.admin.required4 ></td></tr>
<tr><td> <INPUT type=checkbox name=custom_monetary_value10:config.admin.required5 ></td></tr>
...
<tr><td> <INPUT type=checkbox name=custom_monetary_value10:config.admin.required1000 ></td></tr>
</table>
