Hi folks,
The beta is scheduled for today but I don't see any talks nor traces of it being released today, any news?!

Given that now TraceMonkey is seriously behind Google's V8 (between 40% and like 4000% depending on whether you're benchmarking working with strings or images etc) and that implementing TraceMonkey causes such a lot of delays and sophisticated bugs, if I were Mike Beltzner I would really think once again about adopting V8 for Firefox. V8 is amazingly fast at images processing - in this field TraceMonkey lags much behind.
