Performance and Stability: Is anyone working on this on the gaia or platform side.
I remember with fennec there was a bit of work to get both perf and stability tests up and running, and quantifiable. I think this topic would be worth carving out some meeting time to discuss what we could do in the short / medium term, and definitely something that we track / triage as part of the v1 delivery. -David On Tuesday, October 9, 2012 11:54:49 PM UTC-7, Josh Carpenter wrote: > Hi Tony, > > > > Very glad that you've started this thread!
