Originally posted by smitty3268 View PostMaybe there's another quote about this somewhere, but the one quote here in these forums said nothing at all about performance or hardware acceleration in cocoa. He said that they want to provide a native look and feel on macs - which is a very common complaint about cross-platform apps there. Linux and Windows users are much more used to having applications that don't quite integrate as well into the native system, and you see such complaints much less often. It makes perfect sense that they'd consider using the native controls important on macs but not other platforms, and that has nothing to do with performance. It's all about the UX, as the quote itself said.Last edited by bwat47; 31 October 2013, 10:25 AM.

Chrome barely has any UI, everything is rendered inside the 'view' (or whatever you call it), and that seems to be hardware accelerated already. This probably benefits the developers more than the users. I doubt you'll see a notable difference, but I'd love to be proven wrong.

Originally posted by Daktyl198 View PostServo is going to have multi-threading by default due to Rust, so much faster render times and everything. It also has a much more maintainable (smaller + better structured) code base so developers can jump in and add/improve features faster to keep up with specs. Those are just two things out of many. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of Docs on Servo yet, and any attempts to build it has been thwarted by the reliance on Autoconf 2.13 (I run Arch, so that's a problem) so I can't tell you all of the improvements... but I know there are many.
