- mrduncan 16y agoThat still doesn't explain what is faster, only how it's faster. Based on the GPU acceleration bit, I'd assume it's page rendering though.
- pixelbath 16y ago"rapid advances in Chrome's 2D graphics performance" I'd assume it's the 2D graphics performance.
- _delirium 16y agoA very specific subset of 2d graphics performance it seems: 2d animation using certain kinds of transforms. Rendering large/complex SVGs isn't getting 60x faster.
- hackermom 16y agoAnd this is just one part of page rendering. This part may already be neglectable, representing fractions of a second, drowning in the parsing and structuring of the output done prior to actually rendering it. To me, all of this is just windbagging and vacuous marketing - just like the (almost entirely) pointless Javascript boasting.
- danpker 16y agoIt still doesn't say what exactly. I doubt they have a 60 times speed increase in everything
