goals for multi-process firefox
In the case of Electrolysis we’re not talking about the kind of performance that’s usually referenced in the press or is the subject of benchmarks. What we’re really talking about with multi-process performance is responsiveness:
- How long does it take for a mouse click to be recognized?
- When you resize the window does it feel smooth?
- Does the browser mysteriously pause from time to time?
- Are animations smooth, without pauses?
