Some UI smoothness metrics may regress, on Windows and Mac, up to 5%, if that gets wins elsewhere.

* {{bug|1253412}} - APZ causes 4% - 12% TART regression - Event Region Regression
** This has been WONTFIX'd by the APZ team. See [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1253412#c10 this comment] and [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1253412#c19 this comment].


* {{bug|1174770}} - tpaint regressions (3%-33%) in e10s mode compared to non-e10s mode

Test owner: ?
* e10s comparison validated: jimm
* Current e10s diff: '''worse by 3-8% on Linux 64, Windows 7 and Windows 8 platforms, with APZ on or off. 11% improvement on OS X'''
* {{bug|1174770}} - tpaint regressions (3%-8%) in e10s mode compared to non-e10s mode


=== talos tresize ===
=== Notes ===
* tpaint measures the time it takes to paint the content for a new window that has been '''opened from content'''. Windows can be opened from content in a few ways:
** The content runs some JavaScript that calls window.open with non-default features, like window.open("https://www.mozilla.org", "_blank", "toolbars=no");
** The user has flipped the browser.link.open_newwindow pref from its default to open new windows instead of new tabs, and then clicks on a target="_blank" anchor
* tpaint '''does not''' measure the time it takes to open a window triggered from the parent. Windows can be opened from the parent in a number of ways:
** The user uses Ctrl-N or File > New Window to open a new window
** The user clicks on a link in another application that opens the browser the first time
** The user right clicks on a link in content, and chooses to Open Link in New Window
** The user tears a tab out into a new window
* An experiment was conducted to determine whether or not e10s regresses opening windows from the parent.
** The experiment was conducted in {{bug|1251732}}
** '''The conclusion was that e10s does not regress this case.'''
* We suspect there is a second slow-path here that Talos is not measuring, and that's when the user clicks on a link that opens a new tab.
** A bug has been filed to add such a test ({{bug|1253382}})
** Preliminary local results from that test show that '''e10s does not seem to regress this case'''
* A bug has been filed to get Telemetry on how often we hit the ContentParent::RecvCreateWindow codepath, which we believe is the slow path. ({{bug|1253388}})

* e10s comparison validated: jimm
* Current e10s diff: mixed
** Linux 64: ~7% regression
** OS X: ~2% regression
** Windows 7: ~2% regression
** Windows 8 64: ~17% improvement
** Windows XP: ~9% regression

* {{bug|1179732}} - 11-147% linux*/winxp tresize regression when comparing e10s to non e10s on the same build
* {{bug|1252947}} - ~5% winxp tresize regression when comparing e10s to non e10s on the same build

=== "tab animation" ===
* e10s comparison validated: jimm
* Current e10s diff:
** '''Linux 64: 19.38% improvement'''
** '''OS X:  35.59% improvement'''
** '''Win 7:  26.61% improvement'''
** '''Win 8:  33.78% improvement'''
** '''Win XP:  26.26% improvement'''


This was listed in the e10s release criteria doc, with unclear meaning or ownership.
== talos CART (customization mode animation test) ==
* e10s comparison validated: mconley
* Current e10s diff (with APZ disabled - see [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1252768#c4 this analysis])
** Win 8:  2.0% worse
** Win 7:  4.0% worse
** OS X:  3.7% worse
** '''Linux 64:  6.8% worse'''
* {{bug|1252768}} - 2–7% e10s CART regression
** The regressions on non-Linux platforms is due to the "New non-e10s window" button that is added to Nightly and Aurora builds
** The regression for Linux 64 is not yet understood.
