Mozilla's Servo Engine Is Crazy Fast Compared To Gecko

[Grantius]

I believe its still CMD based. Seems to work OK on Linux. If you notice any bugs with sites log the issues on github, they'll thank you for it

There is a native Windows build, or is still a MinGW one?

[MeatyChunks]

Still MinGW it seems. Spent almost an hour compiling it to give some 217 error.

Apparently there will be a alpha release of Servo in June: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic ... crNW6389g4

Looks like Servo has an "XUL-lite", sort of.

Browser.html is built on "Graphene". Graphene lets you build native apps for Servo and its integrated into Servo. Sounds familiar? Graphene is something they made for B2G and ported over.

Its different from XUL in that the browser.html app runs at the OS level and embeds a "webview" iframe into the app. Interface actions happen at a higher level than the "webview". Because IPC and multiprocess is built into Servo from the beginning, Each window creates is its own process.

Here's a page detailing the model: (too big to embed)

That probably comes way after the July preview.

Rendering is super quick just like FF2.0 & FF3.0

Really? I'm finding it slow.

Edit: The lack of middle-click/open in new tab really breaks workflow. It also seems to crash/black screen a fair bit.

It also depends on the sites you visut.
FB/Twitter slow but others very fast

File a bug maybe they will fix it soon.

Does it use spidermonkey for its JS engine or something new?
