* And now, for the Direct2D in Firefox show, starring Bas Schouten! | |||
** [http://www.basschouten.com/blog1.php/2009/11/22/direct2d-hardware-rendering-a-browser Bas's blog post on Direct2D] was featured in a [http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10403604-2.html cnet news article on Direct2D in Firefox]. | |||
** Direct2D provides vector graphics rendering on the GPU. It is implemented as a backend to cairo. | |||
** Large performance improvements in scrolling. | |||
** Large improvements in dynamic websites using a lot of transformations and blending operations. | |||
** Possible implementation strategies: | |||
*** Switched on for all D3D10+ cards, blacklist buggy hardware. | |||
*** Switch off by default, whitelist hardware/driver versions. | |||
*** Possibly additionally whitelist D3D9 cards. | |||
* {{bug|470440}} Going to implement sub-pixel positioned text rendering on Linux, hoping to have working code by early next week | |||

* View [http://graphs.mozilla.org/dashboard/snapshot/ snapshot results] for startup and all other tests. | |||
** {{bug|517804}} was a big win for Mac warm startup, putting 3.6 at 35% faster than 3.5. | |||
'''Activity''' | |||
* Joel has some data on his super-static Firefox in {{bug|525013}}. Inconclusive so far. | |||
* Ben is making progress on the fastload replacement in {{bug|520309}}. Some fastload/invalidation discussion in this [http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.platform/browse_thread/thread/ca867015d8e35fd2/c86a10493eff7146?lnk=raot#c86a10493eff7146 dev.platform thread]. | |||
* Taras has patches up for service caching ({{bug|516085}} | |||
* Super-fast-path-ing of Components.* needs some JS team help: ({{bug|512584}}). | |||

* Ryan Flint put a patch to minify JS on {{bug|524858}}, needs work still, but significantly reduces the size of shipped JS files. | |||
