MNT community member mojyack figured out what made Firefox perform slower than it should on RK3588/Mali-G610/panfrost and has a little patch for mesa that makes Firefox fly! https://community.mnt.re/t/poor-browser-performance/2042/30

Poor browser performance

Can you tell me where the BGRA patch idea/source comes from? Here’s the rough process of how I created that patch: To begin with, I captured profiles while viewing laggy sites. As you can see, most of the cpu time was consumed in the mesa_format_convert function I put debug prints to mesa, and found firefox calling glTexSubImage2D to upload BGRA image to RGBA texture, causing format conversion.

So this morning I was booked to go and train a bunch of young people (14-15yrs) who without any prompting have set up a company, called Tec Tarw, #recycling computers. They wanted to learn @inkscape to vinyl cut to apply their logo onto their machines/products. I walk in and they are all using @iFixit tools and talking about #repair .. an absolute honour to meet them. #thekidsarealright I'll post their website when they go live etc.

Have been amazed at just how veggie/vegan friendly Prague is.
Loads of great restaurants, breakfast spots, and cafés. Even the few meaty places we went to had a decent veggie option - including a lovely vegan "steak" in a traditional steakhouse.
