Mozilla was one of the first browsers to talk about native code compilation for JavaScript. In fact, this is what allowed Firefox and Chrome to zoom ahead of other browsers in terms of rendering speed. However, now that other browsers have also implemented similar features, Firefox has once again fallen behind.<\/p>\n
Obviously, Mozilla isn’t pleased with the current situation. In most speed tests<\/a>, current builds of Firefox end up getting trashed by every browser other than Internet Explorer. This has prompted Mozilla to begin work<\/a> on a new engine called JaegerMonkey<\/a>. <\/p>\n TraceMonkey<\/a> is a fantastic product and is definitely quite fast. However, the problem is that tracing doesn't always work. In those situations, Firefox has to fall back on its old-school JavaScript rendering engine - SpiderMonkey. SpiderMonkey churns out purely interpreted code and is vastly slower than TraceMonkey. JaegerMonkey will add a new \u201cbaseline\u201d method JIT compiler for SpiderMonkey and bridge the speed difference between TraceMonkey and SpiderMonkey.<\/p>\n Work on JaegerMonkey is just getting started<\/a> and it will possibly take several months for this to appear even in the alpha builds of Firefox. Nevertheless, this gives Firefox users something to look forward to.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mozilla was one of the first browsers to talk about native code compilation for JavaScript.
