Description David Williams

As noted in bug 374441 comment 51, it would be good to run performance tests on the new CentOS machine, especially to compare SWT performance runing on GTK3. 

It is, IMHO, a higher priority to get "windows" working first (since, that is what majority of users use), but definitely, long term, the more machines, OSes, and VMs, the better. 

One "criteria" for running them there, will be able to "claim" the machine, with only one executor, for long periods of time, and I am not aware of what else it is used for or if that constraint is realistic. 

Second question I have about using that machine ... that is, when we try and use it to assess GTK ... I am forgetful, and am not sure when GTK support was added. Was it in our "baseline" of version 4.4? I think it is ok, either way, but just wanted to know if we would be getting "GTK3" to "GTK3" comparisons, for true regressions, or, if we'd simply be testing "GTK3" against "GTK2" ... probably important in its own right ... but, wanted to be explicit ... and, I bet someone knows off the top of their head. :)

Honestly, I'm interested in GTK3 against GTK2 comparison for this release train.

If baseline is executed on the CentOS 7 machine we will get GTK3 results by default though. 
But we can flip this using env variable to get the comparison wanted.
