A new thread will handle composition. This thread will receive updates from the content thread, much as the chrome process receives updates from the content process in e10s. Indeed, as much as possible, the shadow layers machinery developed for e10s will be adapted for off-main-thread compositing. The design may need to diverge in some places from the e10s approach: for example, on Android, updates from the content thread to the compositing thread need to be asynchronous. ('''note''': With the current code ... this might not be the case with the new frontend, and even in the current code, the cases that require async PLayers could be fixed at the widget/android level too. We'll need to make a tradeoff.)
