It looks like they've refactored how the layout algorithm works, which is pretty interesting. Down in the performance section however, there seems to be a mix of ideas and very few of them involve parallelism. For example, they want to enable speculative layout to precalculate future animation frames, and layout concurrent with painting. But it doesn't seem like any of this adds parallelism to layout itself, nor does it seem to be on their long term plan.
Also, I note that there seems to be quite a bit of stuff about relayout in the presence of scrollbars, so it seems like they are still planning on having non-overlay scrollbars. That seems very curious to me considering how much work that seems to be, and the fact that people seem to be quite used to this on mobile now. I wonder if they are doing this just for Windows desktop people who aren't familiar with overlay scrollbars? Simon mentioned to me yesterday that he was thinking about having style information managed by the JS GC, and it appears Blink is planning to do that as well. jack.
