* [http://blog.mozilla.com/tglek/2012/03/05/snappy-march-1st/ Snappy weekly summary ] | |||
* Increase in negative SUMO reports mentioned last week was due to over-counting. There might be some networking regressions, but no general slowdown. | |||
** To make SUMO reports more useful to developers we are looking to attach telemetry data: {{bug|732522}}. | |||
* Nick is getting rid of main thread cache locks, {{bug|723577}}. Limited initial testing indicates this is a very big win. | |||
* Brian’s prefetch nuking {{bug|692255}} is moving along. | |||
* Interactivity profiling is close to landing, {{bug|710935}}. | |||
* Dietrich is looking to alter our startup sequence to show the main window sooner, {{bug|715402}}. | |||
* Vlad tweaked chromehang to work on all windows versions and is working on the serverside component with Benjamin, {{bug|712109}}. | |||

* (Mostly holdover) Fennec "maple" builds are more usable, and we could definitely use more technical eyes on them. | |||
** http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/nightly/latest-maple-android/ | |||
** This is "off-main-thread-compositing", or OMTC. | |||
** Thanks to philor & releng, you'll get nightly updates as of tonight. | |||
** Might not be ready for every-day use, but already much more usable on anything with an Adreno GPU (Nexus One, HTC Desire HD, etc). | |||
** Known issues: Some jankiness, some checkerboarding issues. | |||
** File whatever bugs you find in Core :: Graphics, and put "MAPLE" in the whiteboard. | |||
** Note: This testing is only needed on Android devices; desktop should be unaffected by these changes. | |||
