== The Problem ==
Reftests currently assume a window size of 800x1000. This is not
possible on mobile devices, and using this resolution on tegras and
pandas consumes too much memory and results in many timeouts and
random-failures.
Changing the resolution to something like 400x400 is very stable and
only results in a handful of failures. The problem is it's difficult to
figure out how many tests are false positives as a result of lost coverage.

== Possible Solutions ==
* Somehow figure out the exact pixel width/height required by each test
and re-write the ones that are over the new target resolution
* Scroll the contentView and use multiple drawWindow calls to stitch the
canvases together piece by piece
* Disable the DRAW_WIDGET_LAYERS flag so content is rendered off screen
(I'm under the impression this is not a valid solution)
* ?
Things to keep in mind:
* Needed for fennec and b2g (must work oop)
* Some of the tests are shared (apparently?) outside of mozilla
== Feedback ==
I'm looking for feedback on the best way to move forward. Also, does
anyone have any opinions on what the new target resolution should be?
