When Google Earth web used NACL, it was so silky smooth, it wasn't even like it was the web. Even on relatively weak hardware (dual core laptop), it was so nice, didn't skip a frame. First time I tried this in stable Chrome it locked up my entire computer. Took about 5 minutes to be able to reboot. On reboot, when I run it, it's like a slideshow, unusable (Ryzen 3900X 12-core beast with RTX 2060 Super). I really want to get excited about WebAssembly, but this doesn't do that.
- wojciechpolak 7y agoToday I tried it for the first time (the web version) on my work laptop T490 (Intel UHD 620), Ubuntu with Firefox 73. Everything is super smooth. I'm surprised it isn't for you. It's also smooth on my home Macbook Pro (2015) w/ Fx73.
- markdog12 7y agoI'm surprised too. I've tried on Firefox as well, and on different machines, dual core laptop (Intel), quad core laptop (Intel), iMac 27" Late 2015. All were silky smooth with NACL.
