Chrome has supported "Raw Draw" - a technology that supports faster rasterization.

Storing draw commands instead of tiles is an interesting tradeoff to save memory. Presently, our major memory-saving optimization is tab unloading, which eliminates the storage entirely for non-visible, non-active page content. If we find that active pages are consuming too much memory while not updating much of their contents, then this approach may be useful.
