    Chrome Status

  • GPU acceleration in progress for all aspects of rendering
    • Compositing, Canvas, SVG, Text

    Baseline features in all browsers by 2011

  • "Fully" accelerated, All browsers will be 60fps

    Setting Chrome Apart

  • Will accelerate all platforms, including Windows XP
  • Not just 2d, but 3d too (WebGL & 3D-CSS)
  • Due to sandbox, GPU acceleration is all out-of-process
    • Speed Futures
  • Continued Javascript Speed Leadership
    • Other vendors agree that SunSpider is not a good benchmark
    • Why does anyone cite it?
  • Leveraging Multiprocess
  • Web Network Stack 2.0

    • The Problem Is The Network

    rendering is not the bottleneck

    We can render any page in < 500ms...

    But Page-Load-Times average >3,000ms...

    HTTP can't fully utilize the network
    "Top-25" pages, 60ms RTT, 0% loss
