• Landed my last M8, waiting for aurora approval
• Final QA phase of second experiment
• Second experiment sampling:

 ** 90% will match "sampling" criteria
 ** for non-addon users (40%), we will split them in two
 ** for add-on users, we will ship the experiment with a likelyhood of 15%

• Final numbers:

 ** Control group: 20% of beta
 ** Experiment group: 20% of beta
 ** Addon group: 8% of beta

• Question about blocking webextensions/themes

• bug 1179735 (p1 perf, - tp5o_scroll regression) - Not a lot of progress. It turns out my simulation was not correct, I should have disabled vsync, I'm trying again.
• bug 1182637 (p1 perf, - e10s is jankier than non-e10s) - Closed the bug for now
• bug 1232638 - (p1 perf, -IPDL::PCookieService::RecvGetCookieString causing janks) - I looked into the possible solutions, and it's a lot harder than I originally thought. The janks happening because reading the database for cookies is slow (maybe the other related operations as well with the strings), and there is no way to do that work off the main thread while we're blocking the content process (the request has to be sync) Looking at the data though, I still don't think this is P1, this issue is responsible for about 3% of the chrome process janks, while we don't know anything about almost 50% (pesudo stack). As it turns out the pseudo stack enhancing patch did not help...
• some initial multiprocess project planning
• IPC learning
• questions: why do we want to turn off e10s for web extensions and themes?

• bug 1232181 (M8, Replace plugin windows with static window captures when scrolling) - wip
• bug 1241060 (?, Flash content disappears when scrolling adjacent div) - fixed.

• bug 1213432 - D3D11 WARP is slower scrolling on fb than basic layers. Also slower than non-e10s. Been working on this, gecko profiler didn't show much of any use so I'm currently profiling using Concurrency Visualizer. In the process I'm also implementing additional support for CV in Gecko (profile markers, etc)

• Not too much to report. Working on the same things as last week.
