- Also working on other blockers and some performance/optimization bugs
- Features (see Planning page)
- Work re-started on scroll indicators
- Need to re-evaluate the page interactions feature

Performance
- Investigated Sync perf
- Encrypt/decrypt off-main-thread patch is done (by philiKON) just needs approval.. this helps enormously with responsiveness during esp. first sync (bug 570619)
- Patch to remove "tmp" sqlite tables helps with errors/warnings that are perf-related during first sync (bug 552053), but might cause other issues (bug 585704)
- Dug into JS perf tools for profiling issues like this (not quite ready for prime-time, but soon -- maybe a week?)
- Trying to get talos set up locally to validate some perf patches
- Lots of fail. Looking into today.
