"Cold" page load benchmark

Product impact [DESKTOP]
Goal Create a reliable1 Talos benchmark for 'cold' page load times.

1Reliable in this case refers to minimizing variability in the data between runs on the benchmark system.

Duration TBD

Notes This project will start by exploring viability of such a benchmark. If the benchmark turns out to be infeasible, we will document the results and move on to another project.

The benchmark approach was infeasible. Alternative tests will be considered.

Replace Add-on Manager SQLITE with JSON file

Product impact [DESKTOP] [MOBILE]
Goal Goal: Reduce Add-on Manager impact on start-up time1 and runtime pauses2 by removing SQLITE database from XPI Provider and Add-on Repository and replacing with JSON3.

1Start-up time reduction by reducing the amount of I/O required before first paint.
2Runtime pause reduction by reducing I/O required during add-on up-to-date checks and updates, and making sure as much as possible is off main thread.
3New implementation will do no blocking I/O except minimal loading of required data during start-up.

Duration 6 weeks (approx week of May 27, 2013)

Downloads API Rewrite

Product impact [DESKTOP]
Goal To improve responsiveness when downloads are started, by removing the main-thread I/O caused by access to "downloads.sqlite". The concrete goal is to ensure that SQL statements involving moz_downloads no longer appear in the "slow SQL" Telemetry dashboard.
Duration Mid August for reaching the initial goal in Nightly.

Probably another month or two (with lower bandwidth) for follow-ups.
