Performance test of the microB patches
I have tested the microB patches based on Mozilla1.9(Firefox3 alpha6 pre.)
- The microB package contains more 200 patches and several patch sets.
- It is released with Firefox3 alpha6 pre. now.
Two kinds of test case are used.
- Tinderbox DHTML Test
- CSS Rendering
Target Device : PAX320, RAM 256MB
And I got the following results on TestGtkEmbed in Mozilla.
* Tinderbox DHTML Test:
The microB patched Mozilla is 2.2 % faster than Mozilla1.9 (Firefox alpah6 pre).
* CSS Rendering:
The microB patched Mozlla is 5.6 % slower (?) than Mozilla1.9
I applied the default patch set of microB to Mozilla1.9
I can’t understand why the microB patches is slow in the case of CSS Rendering.
The following items are performance related patches in the default patch set.

There are also some patches on Cairo.
I did not go through what each patch means.
Looking forward to your opinion & thought about the results.
Thanks
