  • AI:sicking to go through and prioritize leak bugs


Gecko Perf (speed) discussion

  • Txul platform differences according to mac mini machines
    • mac: slowest on 1.8, slower still on 1.9 (30% regression)
    • windows: fastest on 1.8, now in second place (30% regression)
    • linux: middle on 1.8, now fastest on 1.9 (30% improvement)

    • talos force CC is landed -- did numbers change?
  • Firefox front-end perf
    • sayer to put list of tasks on wiki
    • dolske will do some profiling work
  • On radar
    • Stuart's page-out/page-in tests?
    • Theme optimization
    • roc's scrollbar issues
    • startup performance (fastload perf, loading libXUL and other files, etc.) (unowned)
