The '''Quantum DOM''' project is researching how to improve UI responsiveness by aggressive throttling of CPU-heavy iframes and background tabs and smarter JavaScript garbage collection.
The '''Quantum DOM''' project will make Gecko more responsive, especially when there are a lot of background tabs open. When Quantum DOM is finished, JS code for different tabs (and possibly different iframes) will run in separate cooperatively scheduled threads; the code for some background tabs will never run at all.
