The reason we start a new Servo process for every test is that it’s the only way to get Servo to navigate to another URL remotely. Other browsers use WebDriver for this. We can probably fix this by implementing a subset of WebDriver. Reusing processes for running many tests requires some kind of wire protocol to communicate with them remotely, we might as well use a standard one. -- Simon Sapin _______________________________________________ dev-servo mailing list dev-servo@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-servo
