Infrastructure
- Moz2 mini farm implementation
- number of machines -
- 18 machines for trunk & branch
- plan to roll them out
- IT to take images and roll them out.
- bhearsum is going to be working primarily in Build for the next 1-2 months.
- Will still be supporting the existing Talos machines
- Working on Try server Talos, Vista slaves, baselines is on the back burner for now.

- xml parsing bug re: svg
- Talos on the try server bug 398192
- The Buildbot side is moving quickly, I've already run a couple of test slaves.
- Managing/interpreting the data will take longer to figure out.
- Leak/Mochi tests on debug builds
- coop's item

- Agreed goals:
- stable production talos for branch trunk (4 platforms) on tree
- perf enabled try server
- stand alone talos box
- baselines for historical numbers
- graph server improvements (perhaps seneca)
- investigate (rock) performance solutions for mobile
- Bring up new tinderboxen to run leak and mochi tests on debug builds.
- Agreed goals:
Gecko: Perf discussion
- dtrace status
- main patch is in, followup patch for Leopard exists bug 401806
- need to figure out how we're going to ship this (is it enough to build with the header file on 10.4, or do we actually need 10.5's compile-time linker?)
- Followups
- sessionStore is really slow -- bug 398807 -- checked in, remaining issues marked blocking-, does this need to be tracked any more?
- waiting for native json serializer to land
- force cycle collection in between page load in talos (bug # needed)
- TODO: vlad -- figure out what's going on there (with jonas)
- sessionStore is really slow -- bug 398807 -- checked in, remaining issues marked blocking-, does this need to be tracked any more?
- Firefox front-end perf
- sayer to put list of tasks on wiki
- focus on measurements on tabbrowser reduction
- dolske will do some profiling work
- On radar
- Stuart's page-out/page-in tests?
- Theme optimization
- roc's scrollbar issues
- startup performance (fastload perf, loading libXUL and other files, etc.) (unowned)
- more work to speed up onSecurityChange, but further work will require SSL work and reducing the number of notifications
- others?
