It's slower than Chrome on my 2011 Macbook Air. Which is disappointing, considering it doesn't yet implement the same features.

Did you build with optimizations enabled (./mach build --release)?

I did. I'll definitely have to check it out again, though, because it looks like pcwalton already fixed it! [1]

The fix, for anyone who is curious:

Do you have a test case? What in particular were you doing?

Just some very unscientific tests: loaded a few sites on both Servo and Chrome and compared the effects of resizing their windows. For instance, the frame rate looked about the same on Wikipedia, but Servo struggled on Reddit.

Is Servo running on Windows? The comparison could be more precise on my 120hz Windows box.

No, it's not.

I'll check that test case again; we might have regressed something recently.
