- Roughly 3 person-months of work (!)
- Already known regressions:
- bug 660448 – garish subpixel AA on Linux
JS
- PGO has been turned off for JS builds on nightly and beta to see if PGO is causing JS topcrashes
- Temporary 5-15% JS perf regressions (15% on Talos; 5% in SunSpider harness)
- So far, it’s hard to tell if it’s having an effect on crash rate–need to adjust for ADUs

Stability Report
- ADUs still pretty low on the trunk – 40K but should see that increase Mon/Tues.
- Since the ADUs are pretty low, we don’t have many standout crashes.
- Top browser crash list for yesterday – https://crash-analysis.mozilla.com/chofmann/20110530/top-7.0a1.html
- Bug 648022 – Was fixed on 5.0 and backout was put on 6.0a2. Until we figure out the real fix, we will continue to see this signature on the trunk.
