:* Currently TT only supports Intel x86-32 and ARM, which covers the [[mdc:Mozilla Build FAQ|Tier 1 platforms]] except for Mac OS X on PowerPC. But I don't want to slaughter all the tier-2 and tier-3 platforms just because it's convenient. The easiest thing would be to ensure that you can build just the interpreter, with no JIT, on any plain vanilla platform with a decent C++ compiler. People on those platforms can invest in making the vanilla C++ interpreter fast. | :* Currently TT only supports Intel x86-32 and ARM, which covers the [[mdc:Mozilla Build FAQ|Tier 1 platforms]] except for Mac OS X on PowerPC.

It's undecided how all this might land in mozilla-central. I don't think performance regressions can be avoided given the nature of what we're doing here. It seems more sensible to move ahead to Stage 5, in a branch if necessary, than to do ''that much'' tuning of this Frankenstein's monster. | It's undecided how all this might land in mozilla-central.
