Hi Brent, Just in case you didn't already see it, I posted a message entitled "Problems building JavaScriptCore/WebKit for Windows desktop" about two weeks ago which also mentioned these issues. You might want to cross-check it if not to see if there are any others. I don't know if this is something you are also looking at, but I'm also noticing performance problems with my build of JavaScriptCore for Windows. It is running about 10x slower than I think it should be (compared to a Mac version).
