    Has any of the JIT work that Mark Olsen did already been able to be carried over to, or benefitted "Wayfarer" or is the new browser unlikely to need any JIT JavaScript implementation?

    I believe jacadcaps stated that the "memory lock" we all experienced with OWB is not a factor with "Wayfarer", but we don't yet have access to "Wayfarer" to be able to confirm that.

    I know Mark did all that work on JIT for OWB, but I was never sure it worked/enhanced browsing with OWB to offer any noticeable/significant benefit to OWB, though others may have a different opinion, or figures to back that up. :-?

    Not that I don't think that Mark should be denied the bounty as I believe all the work he has done in the past for the GFX cards deserves more funding sent his way in any case. :-)
