Performance (vladan)

1. What has your team done since last week that might impact others?

a) bug 998863: Asynchronous initialization of plugins has landed

• It's currently preffed on by default, please help us test it: set dom.ipc.plugins.asyncInit to true
  • There are stability problems with e10s at the moment, Aaron is working on fixing these issues
  • Mark any bug reports as blockers of bug 1116806

b) Many Telemetry measurements are biased by users who submit many short sessions (vs users with fewer, longer sessions). You can remove this bias by doing your analysis "per user" using the new clientID field:
