Google chrome for mac 2016
Reducing the V8 heap page size from 1M to 512KB results in a smaller memory footprint when not many live objects are present and lower overall memory fragmentation up to 2x.
Overall, we observed a 50% reduction of average V8 heap size on this set of benchmarks.Īnother optimization introduced recently not only reduces memory on low-memory devices but beefier mobile and desktop machines. Most noticeably, the average V8 heap memory consumption of the mobile New York Times benchmark reduced by about 66%.
The team discovered that Chrome used a total of 50 percent less of a device's RAM on average in comparison to Chrome 53, which updated in September to emphasize HTML5 content over Adobe Flash. These websites include The New York Times, Reddit, YouTube, and others, and were all picked to gauge Chrome's specific enhanced performance features. Google's V8 JavaScript engine team said it has "significantly reduced the memory footprint of several websites," helping to improve performance on the browser. Planned for launch on December 6, Chrome 55 will see performance improvements predominantly if a device doesn't have much memory to start with (such as low-cost smartphones), and if a user runs Chrome with multiple tabs or other apps open at the same time.
