Campos: WebKitGTK+ 2.14 Carlos Garcia Campos takes a
look at the latest stable release of WebKitGTK+. " [The threaded
compositor] is the most important change introduced in
WebKitGTK+ 2.14 and what kept us busy for most of this release cycle. The
idea is simple, we still render everything in the web process, but the
accelerated compositing (all the OpenGL calls) has been moved to a
secondary thread, leaving the main thread free to run all other heavy tasks
like layout, JavaScript, etc. The result is a smoother experience in
general, since the main thread is no longer busy rendering frames, it can
process the JavaScript faster improving the responsiveness
significantly." This release is also considered feature complete in Wayland. |
