Multi-core support

[Edkiefer]

I happen to read this article on FF55 having some optimization to core count. according to them FF only uses 2 cores for major part and they are adding support supposedly for 2+ core in 55.

I was curious if this is on the table for Palemoon or that doesn't apply as Palemoon branched off to much of FF now.

I don't have any issues with 25-30 tabs, just curious if it was being looked at.

Multi-process (not multi-core) support, called "electrolysis" or "e10s" is not desired by us. We'd rather focus on parallelizing libraries at a lower level. See other threads on this forum (do a search for e10s/electrolysis).

Moonchild, can you please describe the parts of the browser that have been parallelized to date?

Ah, ok, I understood the issue and should of checked, I originally thought they meant multi-core, I see now Palemoon does, Should of known this cause I had it's affinity set to 3 cores and noticed slowdown.

Here link to e10 stuff.

I didn't read through it all but sounds like what google does in Chrome with multiple processes 9one for each tab AFAIK in Chome).
