* Jim Mathies' out-of-process windowless plugins on Windows patch is undergoing review, as is Bas Schouten's Direct2D Cairo backend. | |||
* Bas has had quite a number of downloads of his Direct2D build of Minefield, providing a lot of great feedback and bug reports. Unfortunately some of the bug reports are of the sort we feared, driver- or hardware-dependent. We're hoping to get Direct2D into mozilla-central as soon as possible, preffed off, for wider-spread testing. | |||
* Bas also posted a great writeup on [http://www.basschouten.com/blog1.php/2009/11/25/firefox-and-direct2d-performance-analysi measuring performance of his Direct2D builds]: how to do it, how not to do it, and when it's useful. | |||
* Chris Jones' Electrolysis shared memory support is undergoing review, for future use in Fennec+Electrolysis. Work for shared memory tilebrowser is waiting on this. | |||
* The WebGL standard goes to Khronos review this week. More public information will be forthcoming once the Khronos board approves it. | |||
* Topcrashes and blockers are consuming the rest of our time. | |||

'''Summmary''' | |||
* Read the latest [http://autonome.wordpress.com/2009/11/14/firefox-startup-performance-weekly-summary-11/ weekly update]. (none last week) | |||
* View [http://graphs.mozilla.org/dashboard/snapshot/ snapshot results] for startup and all other tests. | |||
'''Activity''' | |||
* Rob Strong put up a [http://blog.mozilla.com/rstrong/2009/11/29/the-fastest-code-is-the-code-that-never-runs/ detailed post] about his startup improvements to the update service, the effect on mobile, and points out some other front-end services that could benefit from the same treatment. | |||
* Joel's static Firefox (sans nspr and nss) is working ({{bug|525013}}), and is showing ~10% improvement in startup time on Mac. He's moved on to improving code locality ({{bug|531406}}). However, time-ordering of symbols doesn't seem to improve the sequentiality of the page-ins by much, so maybe more improvements there. More data on the bug. | |||
* 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}}, needs review bsmedberg. | |||
* Super-fast-path-ing of Components.* needs some JS team help: ({{bug|512584}}). | |||
* {{bug|519445}}, for reducing Mac startup time spent in font system initialization, is ready to land when the tree re-opens. | |||

* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=531142&hide_resolved=1 blockers for turning OOPP on by default], especially note | |||
** Talos process tracking, {{bug|529137}}... needs review by Alice and then landing (will require downtime) | |||
** {{bug|531860}}: .drawWindow with OOPP fails, needs owner | |||
** {{bug|519541}}: need to collect crash statistics from the plugin process; don't necessarily need the final UI, but stability statistics will be very important... ted do you have time? | |||
** Would like to get this turned on and an alpha/beta out by mid-December, though workweek activities may delay that. | |||
* Networking: jduell has channels working in a primitive way (not yet landed): beginning to ramp up other help (fred) to help hook up loadgroups and get fennec working. Honza posted initial patches for async redirect handling in necko: {{bug|513086}} | |||

* Blocklist reminder - channel all blocklist requests through the existing addons.mozilla.org:Blocklisting component. We prefer to block things at the plugin/addon level instead of the DLL level, so let's have everything go through the same channel for the time being. | |||
