Is it possible not to clear OS certificate cache while performing test?
When I run my test case with WPT it reports longer times then IE alone measured with stop watch.
Is certificate revocation list verified every time after restarting IE? I guess there is some overhead while testing with WPT that is not noticeable in real use. Maybe this is the reason.
Right now it is hard-coded and not available to be bypassed. The repeat view runs should not have the certificate cache cleared, just the first view runs (which should be the same for a real first view where the user has never seen your certs before). Shared certs like Google and Facebook are a little fuzzier.
I could potentially add a setting that let you keep the cert cache between runs but there would still be a hit on the first run and Chrome and Firefox would still have theirs cleared out between runs.
