Ummmm, so what is it that Alice is referring to that she said will be fixed? And where can the Winx64 PGO build be downloaded, please?


Bug #830594 fix only the compiler bug, the generated Win64 PGO builds would be still broken.

What about the non-PGO builds? Have the recent x64 channel Nightlies that worked (09 Jan) been PGO?

Thanks very much.

ALL Nightly builds are PGO. (well with exception of Mac & Linux as I recall)

PGO builds appear to be broken still.

This is the last working non-PGO Win64 build.

OK, thanks, but I'm still not sure where all this leaves us on the Nightly that's distributed through the regular update channel.

It leaves you with NO Nightly updates at the present time, Nightly's are still broken because PGO builds are still broken. Non-PGO Nightly's have never been built on Windows as far as I know.

There's no updates because the builds are broken. Looks like that's https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=829738 or https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745093.

The 64-bit build might not be faster as the 32-bit builds, but definitely less laggy!

Here my current session with 52 tabs with flash Videos, only one video is played and the other 51 not even loaded. With the 64-bit i have no flash crashes or lags, but with the 32-bit build the video runs with low fps (15-20 fps). On youtube i get the same behavior with less than 20 tabs.

There was another successful PGO build today but same issue, I lose my New Tab thumbs and it starts with only the Start Page Tab.

After reinstalling the PGO build from the 9th, I was again prompted for a computer restart. Afterward, all is well again ... thumbs are back on the New Tab page and my previously saved tabs are restored.

Thanks, speciesx. Image
I'm just mentioning they are still broken in the same way ... I'll keep trying as new builds emerge, with my fingers crossed. :)

When I used 64bit nightly, and then switched back to 32bit, I noticed it was much faster. even with ~200 tabs open, and 2GB RAM usage 32bit just doesn't stop.
