Video playback power consumption regression

Project Member Reported by mcasas@chromium.org, Sep 11

Issue description

https://chromeperf.appspot.com/report?sid=a613e57a93bfefa1c695907ff156ab7b3432f044d038ee5b71e90464bd9d63bb&start_rev=35190031097200000&end_rev=35440001105100000

It's a regression across the board, i.e. the change can be seen
with and without overlays, and when using VaAPI or Sw decode.

CrOs blame range: https://crosland.corp.google.com/log/11022.0.0..11026.0.0
Chromium blame range:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+log/70.0.3532.0..70.0.3538.0?pretty=fuller&n=10000

(Initially I thought it was my decode-on-client-pixmaps but that landed 
in 70.0.3529.0 crrev.com/c/1181464)

hiroh@ FYI, could you plz check the video_* autotest and see if there are
other regressions plz (I think they might be).  Thx
I've created Issue 882879 from the Perf console.

Perhaps, this is caused by crbug.com/879962?
A CL for it was landed on Chrome 71.0.3551.0. crrev.com/c/1217584
The CL will enable blur on shelf if blur on launcher is enabled. At this moment, it is enabled only on eve for performance reason.

Miguel, may I ask you to investigate this regression with Chrome ToT?

Thanks!

We're back to normal numbers after :

https://crosland.corp.google.com/log/11066.0.0..11067.0.0
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+log/71.0.3544.0..71.0.3552.0

If the original regression was caused by 
https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/1217584
then the fix could be 
https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/1224691

manucornet@ do you think your CLs can be causing these regression
(and fix)? I don't know if the tests show the shelf or not. Maybe
the changes introduced re the spacing rubs the play back the wrong
way...?
Issue 882879 has been merged into this issue.
Hmm, it seems unlikely that the regression was caused by CL 1217584, I would say this would be more likely to be a fix because it disables blur on the shelf for a bunch of devices. Before that CL, blur was enabled everywhere, and this CL only enables it for devices where the app list background is also blurred.

It also seems very unlikely that CL 1224691 would have any impact on performance as it's just tweaking slightly the padding around a few elements.
So what is the status on this right now? Comment #4 ("back to normal numbers") makes it sound like this is fixed. Is that correct? If not, what needs to be done here? Thanks!
Status: WontFix (was: Unconfirmed)
#6,7: thanks for taking a look. Numbers are back to normal indeed,
so no action is needed, beyond learning from what happened to 
avoid repeated regressions -- sometimes power consumption regressions
are nonintuitive, because they might affect e.g. the number of sleep 
states engaged, or the transitions among them or what not...
