Tracemonkey performance
Andrew Smith | 2 October, 2008 | 20:33With help from Mark Steele I got the extension to work in the tracemonkey build. There were some API changes in mozilla that affected the extension. I just got a copy from Vlad’s hg repository and built firefox with that in it.
Sadly the results aren’t pretty. I ran the benchmarks from our repository and the FPSs are 20% worse than firefox 3. If anyone working on tracemonkey cares to figure out why it’s slower, I’ll be happy to tell them how to reproduce my results.
p.s. Actually with a differenet build of firefox and a different build of canvas3d, the performance is 2% better, not 20% worse. There you go.
