Bug 1437215 landed a few hours ago, which finally gives us AWSY numbers on windows. We only have a few data points so far, but assuming they're representative, we have some work to do. I graphed both Resident and Explicit [1]. Resident: 457MB Fx, 788MB FxWR Explicit: 296MB Fx, 337MB FxWR So explicit memory is a small regression, and resident memory is quite a large one. I'm guessing a good chunk of the resident memory regression is in the driver, and may correspond to increased VRAM usage. One wrinkle that makes this not quite apples-to-apples is that the QR tests run on real hardware, but the non-QR tests are virtualized [2]. This may or may not account for some of the different, but probably doesn't account for all of it.

I did a try push [1] with the non-QR tests on 'hardware' virtualization to get a sense of how much of the difference comes from that. There's some differences [2] which seem a little random. I'm doing more retriggers to see if they are consistent.
