The GTK+ port supports the network process, but it's only used when multiple secondary process model is used. Some applications prefer the single shared secondary process model, and even some of the browser users change the default process model of epiphany to single web process because it requires fewer resources. So, we could either integrate the cache with the web process loader, or use the network process unconditionally for all process models. I think for many simple applications a single web process is the most efficient model, though. > > > > antti > > > > > > The code will be behind NETWORK_CACHE feature flag. > > > > > > > > > > antti > > _______________________________________________ > > webkit-dev mailing list > > webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org > > https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev > > > _______________________________________________ > webkit-dev mailing list > webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org > https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev > > > _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev
