WebKit image rendering performance

Rendering performance on WebKit

Please send any feedback on this article to Klemen Slavič

UPDATE: I'm currently in the process of updating the article, as my assumptions about the inner workings of WebKit are incorrect. I will update this article with the relevant facts and provide concrete information in place of my guesstimates below.

I've recently stumbled upon an interesting discovery regarding image rendering performance in most WebKit browsers. Namely, I've been developing a sprite animation component to implement a GIF animation replacement with better compression and performance, where I noticed that some animations appeared to be janky when using multi-frame spritesheets and clipping rectangles. Here's what I found out.

But first, a quick rundown of the basic functioning of the WebKit engine as I understand it.

Disclaimer: This post is Meteor & Backbone beef. Both Meteor and Backbone are absolute genius, and far beyond anything I could dream to create. But IMO there are better tools. Prepare yourselves *gulp*, I need to get this off my chest.

First, Backbone. Why people? It revolutionized JavaScript, did wonderful things for the world, and served its purpose well. But now we have better tools, so let’s move on. It’s like Gentoo users proselytizing Gentoo to the masses, perpetuating it as most common Distro; where all this time, Ubuntu would have saved everyone countless hours. Not

Tutorial for running Meteor in Windows using Vagrant

Tutorial: Meteor in Windows using Vagrant

BEFORE YOU CONTINUE:

  • Now, Meteor runs in any Windows without any line of this tutorial. Just download the Meteor binary! Yay!!
  • mrt is no longer used with Meteor 1.0

These days some people were discussing at meteor-talk group about running Meteor at Windows and I’ve recommended them using Vagrant. It’s a very developer-friendly piece of software that creates a virtual machine (VM) which let you run any operating system wanted and connect to it without big efforts of configuration (just make the initial installation and you have it working).

Many packages (I've tested) for running Meteor+Vagrant fails because Meteor writes its mongodb file and also other files inside local build folder into a shared folder between the Windows host and the Linux guest, and it simply does not work. So I've put my brain to work and found a solution: do symlinks inside the VM (but do not use ln. Use mount so git can follow it). It’s covered on

JS: AngularJS Directive Attribute Binding Explanation

AngularJS Directive Attribute Binding Explanation

When using directives, you often need to pass parameters to the directive. This can be done in several ways. The first 3 can be used whether scope is true or false. This is still a WIP, so validate for yourself.

  1. Raw Attribute Strings

    <div my-directive="some string" another-param="another string"></div>
// Bootstrap Mid-Small - col-ms-* - the missing grid set for Bootstrap3.
//
// This is a hack to fill the gap between 480 and 760 pixels - a missing range
// in the bootstrap responsive grid structure. Use these classes to style pages
// on cellphones when they transition from portrait to landscape.
//
// NOTE: Here I use SASS instead of LESS for styling. To convert to LESS
// replace '$screen' with '@screen' and '$grid' with '@grid'.
//
// See https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/10203 for more info.
