Though I've upgraded my desktop PC to fancy hardware, I still use a Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz laptop with 2GB RAM. This is still a pretty typical configuration for even high end laptops today. Sad to say under heavy load (several windows, many tabs in each), the amount of jank I'm experiencing is pretty high.
To help identify and triage these issues, I've added a "Jank" label in the bug system. I feel like we should focus on reducing these issues in the next release cycle - this is an area where we have historically had a good performance, we should not lose it. It's hard to write tests for jankiness because time and entropy are typically the key inputs more than any specific set of pages. But if you experience jank in your own use of Chrome I encourage you to try and identify causes and file bugs with this new label. http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/list?can=2&q=label%3AJank -Ben --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Developers mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
