Hi!
I noticed that there's a few options for Javascript in Pale Moon Commander. Like enable Jit, Ionmonkey and Odinmonkey and so on. Having read the manual it seems like those options would improve performance, but they are disabled by default. Why is that? Does it make performance worse to enable the options?
Javascript performance question.

Re: Javascript performance question.
I wonder this myself, why is IonMonkey not enabled by default in the Commmander, because Moon himself said: "If you want no performance in JS and watch modern pages crawl as well as the UI being less responsive, then feel free to disable ionmonkey and asm.js".
But then another user said: "ionmonkey has many optimisations which are relevant only on32 bit CPU"
So enable on x86 but disable on x64? I have no idea.
What about they two baseline JIT compiler options? Yay or nay?

Re: Javascript performance question.
AFAIK there is no point in disabling Ion and Baseline at all, this will only decrease the performance in some scenarios. Asm.js, however, is a different thing, which almost not used in the modern Web, and now WebAssembly takes it over.
Re: Javascript performance question.
If you are looking at Pale Moon Commander, please understand that some of these settings no longer do anything and "not present' will generally default to showing "disabled".

Re: Javascript performance question.
So is ionmonkey enabled by default then? I see no monkeys in about:config anywhere! 
Re: Javascript performance question.
IonMonkey is "always-on" because there's no point in not using the JIT compiler at this point.
