Not sure why I am needinfo here...desperation? :-)

Latest changes in the callpath were by jld but they don't show any correlation to this trace, and in any case it started spiking later on. Forwarding to dvander to see if there's any GPU process related changes?

Also if I'm reading crash reports correctly this was a 1 day spike that already disappeared. Change got backed out? Bad GPU drivers somewhere?

Comment 3

[Jim Mathies [:jimm]]

Bob, this looks alt-desktop related. That was backed out at some point.

This isn't alt-desktop, it is because of the chromium sandbox update.
This is the latest incarnation of bug 1352192, which happens because we still sometimes get mismatched binary versions (between firefox.exe and xul.dll) during an update.
Unfortunately, we'll probably see quite a spike in Beta when 59 merges.
