Release
Overall rate: 0.97 (orange)
Nightly
rate skewed due to users submitting old crash reports - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1269998

Performance (Thu)
Investigated 15% perf regression from Talos for VS2015 builds https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1259923 External benchmarking
- Project Hasal (Bobby).
- Team members are traveling, can't respond this quickly.
- arewefastyet (William Lachance, hannes) (Mostly JS but also DOM, WebGL & Web Audio)
- No noticeable slowdown for vs2015.
- openwebgames (Jukka):
- Overall it looks like that most demos have a tiny win (for vs2015)
Manual testing (Andrei, Eng.QA)
- The only difference we saw in terms of performance, following the comparison of these builds, is related to page scrolling and switching between tabs, both in favour of the vs2015 build. Loading pages, opening new windows, new tabs, scrolling pages, switching between tabs, etc. We've also benchmarked these builds using Dromaeo and CanvasMark.
