Performance

  • Snappy weekly summary
  • Increase in negative SUMO reports mentioned last week was due to over-counting. There might be some networking regressions, but no general slowdown.
    • To make SUMO reports more useful to developers we are looking to attach telemetry data: bug 732522.
  • Nick is getting rid of main thread cache locks, bug 723577. Limited initial testing indicates this is a very big win.
  • Brian’s prefetch nuking bug 692255 is moving along.
  • Interactivity profiling is close to landing, bug 710935.
  • Dietrich is looking to alter our startup sequence to show the main window sooner, bug 715402.
  • Vlad tweaked chromehang to work on all windows versions and is working on the serverside component with Benjamin, bug 712109.
  • Taras posted the plan to shut down Firefox efficiently. Rafael is working on this in bug 662444. Feedback appreciated.
  • Jared has landed more of Avi’s smooth scrolling tweaks on the ux-branch, bug 198964.
  • Dietrich and Andrew are looking into massive CC pauses after resume, bug 639262.
  • Nathan landed persistent telemetry, bug 707320...but it’s not quite working yet, bug 732970.
  • See Chris' great post on DOM Local Storage and the related discussion.

GFX

  • (Mostly holdover) Fennec "maple" builds are more usable, and we could definitely use more technical eyes on them.
    • http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/nightly/latest-maple-android/
    • This is "off-main-thread-compositing", or OMTC.
    • Thanks to philor & releng, you'll get nightly updates as of tonight.
    • Might not be ready for every-day use, but already much more usable on anything with an Adreno GPU (Nexus One, HTC Desire HD, etc).
    • Known issues: Some jankiness, some checkerboarding issues.
    • File whatever bugs you find in Core :: Graphics, and put "MAPLE" in the whiteboard.
    • Note: This testing is only needed on Android devices; desktop should be unaffected by these changes.
