Hi all,
I'm planning to land [1] early in the next cycle. It removes the odd and old favor-perf-mode which is used during page loads. Removing the mode and forcing timely screen refreshes even on non-omtc platforms helps significantly in several cases, at least [2], [3], [4]. favor-perf-mode, which is normally active only during page load (unless user is actively interacting with the browser) and 2 seconds after that (don't ask why 2s - this is ancient code) causes browser to process main thread gecko events in a tight loop and only occasionally process events from OS (like user input or paint requests). I do expect some tp regressions but significant tp_responsiveness improvements. (I'll need to still fix few racy tests before landing) -smaug [1] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=930793 [2] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732621 [3] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=822096 [4] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=880036 _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
