Now we open/close the registry all the time. I want to keep the registry
|
1999-03-23 02:06:31 +00:00
|
|
|
open all the time. That would get performance up.</li>

<li>

1999-03-23 20:11:36 +00:00

Platform*() functions use the NR_*Raw() functions in some places. I wonder
|
|
|
|
|
if the nsRegistry has a equivalent. If not we need to create them.</li>
|
1999-03-23 02:06:31 +00:00

</ul>

Mostly, there is equivalence between NR_*() calls and nsRegistry calls. </td>
