+taras: joelr: btw, you gave up on reflows?
+taras: that makes me sad
+taras: i was hoping we'd end up with some sort of tool to measure cost of laying out various xul components
+joelr: taras: i did not give up, i just don't know how to go about it yet
+taras: so people could profile their guis
+taras: instead of going at it blindly
+joelr: taras: i didn't hear your prayers, my apologies
+joelr: i'll make a note on the idea of a tool that measures guis, though
+joelr: taras: how do i measure? from where to where?
+joelr: layout? reflow? something else?
+taras: joelr: it's simple, time how long they take
+taras: just see long functions take to run, ones that trigger all those fun reflow stacks
