Patch #32523
closedReplace `for` loops with `forEach` in buildFilterRow function
Description
Hi,
When building a query on the /issues page, if you use a filter on users (assigned to, author, etc.) and you have a lot of them, the browser freezes for a few moments. This can be improved by slightly modifying the JavaScript running on the page.
In the public/javascripts/application.js, a lot of "for" loops use var.length in their statements, which is evaluated at each loop.
The attached patch adds, for each loop, a var assignment just before the loop, which is used in the statement.
Performances are greatly improved on Firefox and Chromium.
Regards

There is a typo in the previous patch. Here is the corrected version.

I changed the for
statements of javascript-perf2.diff to forEach
.

I think forEach
is better because the loop counter variable becomes unnecessary.

I added 200 users to the project member and compared the execution speed of the Author(author_id) filter. However, there is no significant difference in execution speed.
I measured using performance.now()
.

According to #32523#note-2, the patches don't improve the performance so much. I wonder if we should merge any of patches.
