Description

evans1: Will you be updating to the latest version of Spider Monkey? The one used in FF 4? That is supposed to be blazing fast. Dunno if it's still called SpiderMonkey?, though..

Phillip: I want to upgrade some time, but the API changed incompatibly so it's a bit of a pain

Phillip:: (It's still called SpiderMonkey?, and also sometimes called TraceMonkey? and JaegerMonkey?)

I'm currently looking into this, since it may help with RMS performance and I feel like I need some pain. Not sure if I'll commit the changes immediately though - will need to deal with some warnings and try building on Windows first, and maybe wait for upstream updates.

Incomplete patch for SpiderMonkey from ​http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/ rev 39a979e26931 plus ​patch. The engine compiles and seems to basically run and the tests pass, on Linux. Haven't tried updating Atlas/wxJS yet.
