Similar to bug 1700932, we spend nearly half the time in the RenderThread in RenderDXGITextureHost::MapPlane.

Rares, can you get a profile with gfx.webrender.software.d3d11=false?

Matt, did sw-wr-perf-d3d11-webgl resolve this particular bug?

Flags: needinfo?(matt.woodrow)

Looks like this page has two giant <canvas> elements covering the screen, and in the profile we're mapping them for readback every composite.

I suspect bug 1706488 should have fixed this.

Rares, do you still see bad performance here?

Flags: needinfo?(matt.woodrow) → needinfo?(rares.doghi)

Yes this definitely improved a lot over the old builds, I mean the Text from the page still shakes pretty bad but performance wise I can scroll a lot easier and faster than before, the animations from the texts are also a lot faster and smoother than before.
I think we can close it but the Text from the page is still shaking a lot.
