Slowness reported with selenium 2.45.0

[santoshkothapalli]

We are investigating the slowness with the driver and our investigations lead to the defect in the code in cpp/webdriver-interactions/interactions.cpp , we are forced to wait upto 5 seconds for every keystroke. can this time be reduced for faster execution.

Also the pressed is always false and is not been reset to true any where.

209 clock_t maxWait = clock() + 5000;
210 while (!pressed) {
211 wait(5);
212 if (clock() >= maxWait) {
213 LOG(WARN) << "Timeout awaiting keypress: " << keyCode;
214 break;
215 }
216 }
217 }

The proper fix to this is to use the 32-bit IE driver, even on 64-bit Windows. For IE 10 and 11, the content process where keys are being typed is almost always 32-bit, even when you assume you're using 64-bit IE.

This is reported when we are using 32 bit driver

[jimevans]

Then you've managed to (incorrectly) configure IE in such a way that you're getting a 64-bit content process. What happens if you use the 64-bit IE driver?

Do we have any link which explains about how to configure IE? For every character that is being typed in the field (text box on web page) there is delay. The below are the logs from IEDriver.log
