*UI Jank Task Force Status Update*
The UI Jank Task Force is out to fix UI Jank and slowness in the browser. A
list of open Jank bugs is here: http://code.google.com/
p/chromium/issues/list?q=label:Jank (feel free to take one!)
*Updates*
John
- Bug fixing
- "Last shutdown" file Lookup on startup to different thread
- Looking at remaining Jank bugs this week
Carlos
- Sick, OOO last week
- Pointer to an API to detect if memory is paged out. Still not sure it
is possible given the API, but investigating further.
- Ricardo's experiments indicate that backing stores may not be paged out
after sleep?
- AI: John & Glenn to follow up with Ricardo
- Another contributor working on PGO, but hasn't been able to get it
working either (VS2010 may be better than VS2005.)
- AI: Carlos to file a ticket about linker limits (only 5 linkers
spawned)
- AI: John to run startup perf tests with PGO build.
Chase
- Tools work, perf tests, reference builds last week.
Evan
- No jank updates.
Tony
- Added reference builds for new tab tests.
- Investigating thread contention for new tab creation.
- Elliot changing how themes are stored on disk, should make theme
startup faster (cram all files into one.)
