Does all of this data need to be loaded into memory? If so, 13mb of code + data is likely unacceptable to B2G. That's roughly 10% of all memory we have available to gecko on our devices. I would lobby hard against turning this on for B2G. If we can avoid loading most of that data into memory, the situation is much better. But even 3mb of code is dicey; we consider a 3mb memory win to be substantial and worthy of a large amount of effort to obtain. I'd imagine that the Fennec folks working on project 256mb [1] would have similar reactions. On Windows desktop, our median memory usage is ~500mb, and the 5th percentile is ~175mb, so an extra 13mb, while not great, might be acceptable. 3mb wouldn't be a big deal. -Justin [1] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=792131 _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
