hi, Webkit linux GTK version does not employ any threading. This is unlike MAC/Windows port or firefox that use threading for n/w io, js exec, UI and probably for others like rendering/parsing. Threading may be more appropriate on embedded systems where ui response is probably more important than throughput. It may complicate webkit design, but is that a compromise.
would like to understand the design decisions, which parts of webkit are threadsafe, how difficult or easy is to do some of these on the gtk port. Appreciate any inputs so that we have the right info to take it furthur. thanks, Zaheer
