And what is a throbber? And is cairo itself compiled using some separate compiler(IC 8.x would be a good guess)? Or is it in a trunk and compiles/links together in when building whole Mozilla/Firefox trunk? And are you using VC8 already? That's heck of a awesome compiler... What’s that for a bug? 324883 ????

Detecting performance regressions will be a bitch if it doesn't. I just hope that bug 324883 gets fixed before the cairo stuff will get enabled in the regular trunk nightlies.

The throbber not working is a known bug that happens in cairo builds. Yes, cairo renders everything in these builds. The throbber not working is a known bug that happens in cairo builds.

I tried it out and the throbber didn't work, but otherwise couldn't tell the difference...

Use this at your own risk.. ;-) it works for me. i’m running a release build (1.5) and a trunk build on Windows without any problems.
