> w.r.t. that FIXME, another path is to move the preload scanner to its own thread.  For either change, we really need benchmarks to tell us whether we're making things faster or slower.  Maybe we can both re-use tokens and move the scanner to its own thread?

It was tried before in Bug 63531. The patch was rejected because the performance gain was very small.

After we introduce speculative parsing, then maybe we can both re-use tokens and move HTML parsing (not just preload scanning) off the main thread. Firefox exactly doe this.

Now the discussion is off the topic. I filed Bug 90751 for further discussion.
