(cross-posted to dev-platform and firefox-dev) Hi folks,
Just a heads up that in bug 1476981 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1476981>, I just autolanded a patch that, when hopefully merged, will enable the Process Priority Manager for Firefox Desktop on Nightly on Windows. The Process Priority Manager lowers the OS-level process priority for any content processes that host *only* background tabs. As soon as one tab in a content process is brought to the foreground, the priority is brought back to the normal level. This should allow foreground tabs to get more CPU cycles dedicated to them, which we hope will let users get more things done more quickly in those foreground tabs. The pref is holding on Nightly to help us shake out bugs. If you notice any, bug 1522879 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1522879> is the right metabug to block. If you have questions or concerns, please respond to this thread on dev-platform (to centralize the conversation). Thanks! -Mike _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
