@Eugene: It -can- currently be built stand-alone, however this isn't as easy yet as it should be. It will be under the MPL like all other Mozilla code, so it should be quite easy to use in other projects.

Interesting work. Will Azure be released as a library and if so what license will the code have?

Can I ask something that concerns me?

Only Fx's HWA keeps generally my Graphics Card running with middle-clocks, always...

On IE9 and Chrome, the clocks staying in lower levels while both using normally HWA on normal browsing...

The GC-fan works always faster with Fx... It's like Fx uses the Card a lot more than the other browsers...

Is there an explanation? To be honest, I don't like this behavior and thus I turn off HWA.

@Marek: The correctness bug is known and will be fixed in a future release.

The performance on Test 2 is a known bug that's being worked on. Test 5 is more complex, it's a more longer-term symptom due to the global composite operator it uses. (It's not Azure specific)

Actually, on fully HW accelerated system on W7/WhiteListed NVidia is SW rendering with turned OFF faster than HW rendering, esp. test 2 and 5 of asteroids...
And DX9 (non D2D) and slower computer is also much faster, is it known and temporary symptom?

Yes, Nightly seems to be faster, however, Test3 seems to be broken considerably... do you know about it?

That sounds great. When I have some time from everything else, I might have a look at it. By then maybe you've got some more ports running too.

Hopefully it will stay fairly independent, too.
