Mozilla2:Trender

Trender Benchmark

(Also known as Tgfx)

Trender is a new performance metric intended to evaluate page rendering speed as we work on moving to a Cairo world. It calcualtes the average redraw time (wall clock) of a page using a new method in nsIDOMWindowUtils over a wide set of pages; various combinations of these results are then turned into one or more composite results.

The full Trender package cannot be made public due to potential copyright issues with the test content; however, the test harness and certain tests can be public.

Results are reported on the Firefox-Cairo tinderbox.
