Chromium is naturally bloated and heavy, what would be the goal in comparing it to WPF
- The_rationalist 7y agoThe goal would be to challenge your belief. If you were knowledgeable, you would know for example that chromium 2D rendering engine (skia) is the current state of the art. Benchmarking fps, vsync stability, input latency, etc would be enlightening. There are order of magnitude more engineers working at optimizing chromium than WPF.
- untog 7y agoI think the OP meant "bloated and heavy" in terms of the sheer size of the thing, not the performance of it. And it is. It's very difficult to use _just_ the 2D rendering part of Chromium, you bundle the whole thing, warts and all.
- The_rationalist 7y agoBinary size is only one "performance metric" and arguably the less important one. Anyway, did you know that chromium is the GUI framework that allow you to have the smallest Binary size? Instead of bundling it like you would with most GUI frameworks (GTK, QT) you can just use the locally installed chrome instance through Carlo.
