Details

The current wrench test suite runs with softpipe rasterizer, which is much slower than llvmpipe. This was initially done for accuracy / build issues. However, we could probably now switch over to using llvmpipe and get much faster CI / local run times for wrench.

This task may involve filing follow up bugs if we run into crashes / visual regressions etc when running the tests under llvmpipe.

Blocks: wr-intro

Changing this in Firefox CI will be non-trivial, so this is probably not an appropriate intro bug.

Priority: -- → P3

We could probably make the bug just about testing locally with llvmpipe, and reporting findings about whether it runs fine / timing differences / crashes / visual bugs. That will give us a good sense of any WR / llvmpipe issues we run into, which will be useful, even if we can't enable it on CI for some time.
