Hi everyone, I would like to start a discussion about adding a new API for disabling the accelerated compositing (AC). We (Evolution) actually don't need AC enabled at all for our WebKitGTK+ use and some of our users are observing a big performance hit with 2.14.x (please see [0]) that is solved by disabling AC.
The only way right now to disable the AC is through the environment variable WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE. I would like to propose the following API: void webkit_web_context_set_accelerated_compositing_enabled (WebKitWebContext *context, gboolean enabled); gboolean webkit_web_context_get_accelerated_compositing_enabled (WebKitWebContext *context); As Carlos mentioned to me on IRC some people actually wanted to remove the non AC mode for WebKitGTK+ at some point in the future. If so can you please share the reasons with me (I have to admit that I remember that someone mentioned that during the hackfest, but I don't recall anything about that).
