[00:50] <tomreyn> threaded rendering coming to firefox on linux in 2020 (according to plans) https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/have-you-tested-webrender/16137 https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platform/GFX/Quantum_Render
[00:51] <tomreyn> i can actually load this page https://unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-list.html on 71.0 with gfx.webrender.enabled=true

[00:52] <mamarley> I've found if you have a 4K display, you pretty much need to have at least OpenGL compositing enabled in order for Firefox to scroll at 60FPS.  Otherwise it drops to 30, which I find unusable.
[00:53] <tomreyn> well, at least it still works ;-)
[00:53] <tomreyn> try loading the emoji list on standard 71
[00:55] <mamarley> It loads here, but if I scroll with any speed at all, the rendering can't keep up and it whites out temporarily.
[00:56] <tomreyn> oh, actually it works. cough, ad blocker, cough.
[00:56] <mamarley> With WebRender on, it still whites out a little bit if I scroll very fast, but the performance is noticeably better.
[00:57] <tomreyn> same, here
[00:58] <tomreyn> i guess this page would benefit a lot of the code path webrendEST enables, but this doesn't seem to be in 71, yet
[01:00] <tomreyn> amd rx580 here
[01:00] <mamarley> https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1425260 seems to indicate that gfx.webrender.all does the same thing now.
[01:00] <ubottu> Mozilla bug 1425260 in Graphics: WebRender "Bring back webrendest functionality" [Normal,Resolved: fixed]
[01:00] <mamarley> (If I'm understanding this correctly.)
[01:02] <tomreyn> wow, this is fast!
[01:04] <tomreyn> it even works with my addons this way. and it doesn't munch too much ram.
[01:04] <tomreyn> no white during scrolling for me now
