Performance

  • Investigated Sync perf
    • Encrypt/decrypt off-main-thread patch is done (by philiKON) just needs approval..  this helps enormously with responsiveness during esp. first sync (bug 570619)
    • Patch to remove "tmp" sqlite tables helps with errors/warnings that are perf-related during first sync (bug 552053), but might cause other issues (bug 585704)
    • Dug into JS perf tools for profiling issues like this (not quite ready for prime-time, but soon -- maybe a week?)
  • Trying to get talos set up locally to validate some perf patches
    • Lots of fail. Looking into today.
