Hello all, we have not been too active lately on this list, we
are getting closer to release dates etc... But that doesn't mean
that we are not working on microwin/Nano-X!
We are in the process of developing a client side cache for some
operations that causes client/server traffic to eat cpu for our
application mix. My guess is that these would help the Mozilla
project as well.
From our initial tests, its looks very promising, but it is not
done yet. Give us a few days and we can get back to you on this
issue when we surface around here.
I will discuss with Greg how best to merge our code with the
new versions.
Best regards,
