DOM operations in this context is single threaded and definitely not deeply pipelined cached friendly code. I benchmark web code using cycles and instructions and I'm finding in practice that we're averaging in the order of 0.5-2

The article overlooks the end-to-end overhead of HTTP/2 which unfortunately makes the trade-offs between batching API calls and bundling JavaScript very complex in practice. For instance in Chrome the overhead of an additional request

The keyword here is 'fraudulent'. High-cpu-loads is allowed, but an automated service monitors for fraudulent activity.

I can see why people would focus on the risk of a flashy explosion, but I think the real risk will be with the deployment process and having gotten everything right with JWST. ESA launches are very reliably, JWST is a one time design.

Great. So if you have ~6 years experience they will quote you a range of 150k-220k for say L4-L6 when your TC (base+bonus+rsu) might be anywhere between 200K-575K[1]. That doesn't sound like a particularly useful answer. [1] https:&#x

That's was my intention when I proposed will-changed. I was trying to get the Firefox OS home screen slide transitions to be performant without hard coding it in the Gecko layout engine.
