* Perf+metrics work week this week in MV/SF
* This week's [http://blog.mozilla.org/tglek/2012/05/14/snappy-may-10-suspending-activity-in-background-tabs/ Snappy summary]
* Lawrence posted on hacks about [http://hacks.mozilla.org/2012/05/getting-snappy-performance-optimisations-in-firefox-13/ Firefox 13 Snappy work].
* Tim landed a fix to avoid setTimeout()s when handling tab clicks in {{bug|743877}}, which should significantly improve tab strip responsiveness.
* Incremental GC making progress towards being turned on by default again ({{bug|750959}}, {{bug|752098}}).
* Wladimir Palant (Adblock Plus fame) wrote a new [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/suspend-background-tabs/ Suspend background tabs] add-on to halt activity in background tabs. This experimental add-on should give a sense of how we can improve lag due to background tabs.
