Actual results:

0.0ms of GPU time used for all pages, according the the profiler. Either Webrender isn't utilizing the GPU at all, or the profiler is not collecting data correctly. 


Expected results:

The GPU should be utilized

You need to set gfx.webrender.debug.gpu-time-queries to true for this to show up.
