Electrolysis

  • MacOS X - Content not rendering without user creating UI events
    • Beta 2 Blocker
    • Looks like mac isnt processing ipc messages it needs to
  • Priority of child process (Alon can update everyone)
  • Discussion in bug on dynamic verses constant child priority
    • Constant priority makes the child slower (at least 3% on page load for one test).
    • Dynamic priority is hard.
    • I am bias.

General Platform

Video

Camera

Plugins

Performance

  • Content Sink pref change loaded (Bug 604762)
    • Basically we make the child process less "responsive" and make it do more work before processing events
    • Saw page load perf bump by 3%

Networking

Graphics

Startup

Layout

Content

Release Engineering

QA

Other

  • DougT spent 2-3 days fixing talos.
    • The Fennec CLH was registered using a prefix that loaded before talos CLHs.
    • Alot of voodoo trying to get the right options, right config file, right files on disk.
    • TPan doesn't work on desktop
    • Tp4 doesn't produce the correct starting output on desktop
    • Not all bad news, Ts does work on desktop
    • I am pretty sure that these failures would also fail on the n900 given their subsystems (linux, apache) are basically the same.
    • What I want is a way to locally test performance using the tools we currently have.
