There are easier ways to compare. D2D is something like 40% faster than
software (Bas, is that the right ballpark?). So if you get a 2x+ speedup with
concurrent software rendering, you win.
Thanks,

We should experiment with parallel software rendering. Using skia on many cores
might be faster than using D2D in practice, for example. Andreas

Chrome uses Skia on windows right? So this apparently isn't a big
enough win for them to justify a wrapper. I'm guessing they use ANGLES
there. I think the assumption in the room was that we could

As I remember, this is unintentional. Azure is now hosted out of tree
and shouldn't have this problem anymore, although I haven't checked. I
talked to Bas about this last October because at that time I ha

The overhead referred to here is administrative overhead. We pull in other

Well, depends on what you call a layer tree. Currently a layer tree is
