Urgent Bug Triage

Bugs tracked for upcoming Firefox releases:

Agenda

• layout/graphics work week coming up - need discussion topics - https://intranet.mozilla.org/Layout/graphics_work_week_paris
  • make sure your flights are booked
  • add the extra information into the wiki page above if you haven't already
• summit and graphics topics
  • Roc in Toronto, Bas/Jet/Matt for Santa Clara, Jeff/BenWa/George for Brussels
• 60 fps
  • a worthy goal on devices
  • no good way to test this on B2G
  • Shumway inspector: http://www.areweflashyet.com/shumway/examples/inspector/inspector.html?rfile=../Box2DFlashAS3/demo.swf
  • jank and interruptions and lack of consistent frame rate may be more of a problem than raw throughput
  • regression performance testing - A-team, Mobile Performance team are already looking at this part
  • triage/guidance breakdown of where the slowness is coming from, that's probably more on us
  • the profiler information is helping the platform developers, but not really the right thing for the Gaia developers
  • we could try and measure the time spent in deep layer callback (content rendering), frame layer builder
  • the triage of "is it Gaia or is it Gecko" is similar to "how do I make it faster on the Gaia side"
  • how can we collect the experience of the experts and capture it in a tool?
  • perhaps a summary report would help - total layers, pixels, etc.
  • we may need to instrument and time stamp a lot more things - perhaps behind a preference?
