Hi,
I wanted to give a heads up that we're in the process of finalizing the
patch for bug 678392 which will give us history swipe animations on Mac
OSX 10.7+. Since we will be taking snapshots of the 20 most-recently
visited pages, this will undoubtedly lead to an increase in memory
utilization on these platforms.
There is a discussion about experimental memory measurements in comment
305 and 309 in the bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=678392#c305
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=678392#c309
We attempted to land the patch late last week but ran into test failures
caused (most-likely) by not forcing a clobber. The upside of it is that
it gave us feedback from Talos and an opportunity to email the list for
feedback before making another attempt at landing the patch. The "Trace
Malloc MaxHeap" regression is documented in this graph:
http://graphs.mozilla.org/graph.html#tests=[[29,63,22]]&sel=1360274365000,1360447165000&displayrange=7&datatype=running
We'd like to make sure that this increase is acceptable before landing
the patch. If you have any feedback, please let me know.
Thanks,
Stephen
