# How it worked until recently
Servo uses a crate called string-cache for string interning. It defines
an `Atom` type that represents a string (it dereferences to `&str`), but
it take 8 bytes of stack space (whereas `String` take three times that
on 64-bit systems) and is fast to compare for e
This is awesome, and fixes a long-running pain point. Thanks Simon!

Just to check that I understand correctly...
Are element names atoms? Which static set do they come from?
Presumably the html5ever one?

Hi Josh,
Do we need to write test cases for what we have done so far? If yes, do we need
to run auto test cases (e.g. unit test) or a simple HTML test page is enough?
Since right now we only did initial steps, we have no idea how to test it. Can
you give us some instructions?
