Hi All, I have been reading about the preload scanner that is supported in the WebKit since quite some time now ( http://webkit.org/blog/166/optimizing-page-loading-in-web-browser/ ) . As per my understanding (please correct me if I am wrong), the preload scanner kicks in when the main parser has halted waiting for some javascript to load. To better utilize this time, a 'side' parser is started which parses the HTML to see if more resoursec (esp. scripts and CSS) are there which can be loaded in parallel.
I have a few questions regarding this - What exactly is meat by 'loading' in context of the above - does it mean downloading the script/CSS from the remote host to the local client or does it also include parsing/ executing (in case of script) and parsing/rule-list creation (in case of CSS) ? Also, how many such parallel loadings can happen at the same time - is it configurable in source or by some other API ? Thanks for answering the above ! Regards, Aneesh
