 Replying to [comment:16 mcs]:
 > gk (or anyone with an opinion): What do you think? My opinion is that we
 should skip the two performance patches but pick up the crash fix (that
 patch is fairly simple, but there is some risk because Mozilla has not
 shipped it yet).

 Sounds good to me and is territory for alpha builds anyway. :)
