Supposed to be a huge upgrade, years and years of development with very little publicly visible progress, people talking about how it's a stupid solution and when it's finally added, but have to put in extra effort to activate it. The only thing that's missing is the Mozilla people canceling it before it's made standard.

What they are doing is actually pretty smart. They're gradually introducing features with a new technology where it makes the most sense first, so they can iterate upon future components based on what they've learned from past experiments.
Anyway, as for the actual setting, Firefox feels really snappy and fast! It is actually amazing how quickly it can show pages completely now.

So what is the situation with this on anything non-x86?
I'm guessing you'd have to cross-compile to get it on something like ARM? And I believe at least Debian has a policy of only compiling on native hardware so if you want it on that you're SOL or stuck cross-compiling it yourself?
Is that a fair assessment?
I don't necessarily have a problem with them pushing boundaries, but I'd like to see Rust on a wider variety of platforms.

I read an article today that covered performance of startup and memory from FF v20 to v56 and at v55 there is a significant improvement. The nightly with this feature enabled makes it even better apparently It's about time!
