I've got an Ubuntu 12.04.1 LiveCD here so I'll report back once I've booted it, installed the gstreamer plugins and updated Firefox.
I'm guessing that the "MSE & H.264" box in the latter pic might become green with a tick once the fix/es for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=778617 and/or https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=881512 land. Off-topic note: the demo hosted at http://bluishcoder.co.nz/2013/08/20/...n-firefox.html does work if media.mediasource.enabled is set to true.

I'd imagine you could get very different results on a big c++ project versus a c project, for example, and with or without an SSD.
I’m just saying, ${core} + 1 is not the best optimization for me and the test confirms the part:“but this guideline isn’t always perfect”

Originally posted by smitty3268 View PostBecause generally your running jobs have occasional stalled time when they are waiting on something (like I/O) and not doing any actual work - and your +1 job can fill in nicely on all x cores whenever that happens. Suspending jobs shouldn't really take any extra time, so the idea is to make sure that the pipeline is always full and your CPU is always busy with something, rather than risk it running dry for short times. You limit it to +1 instead of more than that, to avoid excessive unnecessary swapping which doesn't gain you anything but can kill caches, etc.
The exact optimal number varies based on both the project you are compiling and the details of your hardware, but the +1 is a good general starting point.

Also, note that TLS 1.1 was disabled for Firefox 26 because a last-minute compatibility issue was found with https://mymedicare.gov. See comment 67 in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=733647 for more details. If you don't use that site and you want to use TLS 1.1 you can go to about:config and change the value of security.tls.version.max from "1" to "2".

Note that once the gstreamer 1.0 support is available in Firefox you'll need gstreamer-vaapi 0.5.3 or later, which is currently not available in any Ubuntu version.

Originally posted by Ericg View PostWhy +1, Dee? I never understood why everyone always goes for +1 since if one job takes up one core... why would you want to give it more than it can handle? Wouldn't it force the CPU to suspend one of the other jobs to kick that one in?
