Hello all,

Just sending a quick note to let you know that I've filed bug 1469072[1] to
move Activity Stream into its own content process.

This is something that Fission needs, but we're hoping to squeeze some
performance benefits out of it as well by reducing, reusing and recycling
various Activity Stream things since they'll all be contained within a
single process. It might also allow us to cache more Activity Stream
scripts in ScriptPreloader[2], since we can reasonably assume only trusted
JavaScript will be running within the Activity Stream content process.

This work is going to be handled by my intern, Jay Lim. If you have any
concerns with this plan, please bring them to my attention - commenting in
the bug, emailing me, or responding to this thread on dev-platform is fine.

Thanks!

-Mike
