This should also have some memory benefits by preventing us from unnecessarily loading AS things into multiple content processes, like we do now.<div><div class="h5"><br>

Hello all,<br>
<br>
Just sending a quick note to let you know that I've filed bug 1469072[1] to<br>
move Activity Stream into its own content process.<br>
<br>
This is something that Fission needs, but we're hoping to squeeze some<br>
performance benefits out of it as well by reducing, reusing and recycling<br>
various Activity Stream things since they'll all be contained within a<br>
single process. It might also allow us to cache more Activity Stream<br>
scripts in ScriptPreloader[2], since we can reasonably assume only trusted<br>
JavaScript will be running within the Activity Stream content process.<br>
<br>
This work is going to be handled by my intern, Jay Lim. If you have any<br>
concerns with this plan, please bring them to my attention - commenting in<br>
the bug, emailing me, or responding to this thread on dev-platform is fine.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
