  It's probably fine, profile it and if you can't measure anything then the performance difference doesn't matter.

  Can you send your project to so I can profile it and see if there's something slow in the editor? It would be a great help if you could remove any third party plugins before doing so, and provide instructions on exactly what to do to see the problem.

  BTW it might help to create a folder-based project, delete all the .uistate.xml files, and try loading again.

  "Fullscreen request failed"? Huh, are you using the Browser object 'Request fullscreen' action? Does it fix it if you remove it?

  Just want to say great job with those graphs, they've turned up surprising data and it's very valuable to include that type of thing in bug reports since it points to an objective thing which can be improved in a measurable way. Hopefully this test helps browser makers fix their vsyncs!

  It's probably a bug in Chrome or the device's camera driver. It's the same C2 code running on all those platforms so that wouldn't explain the difference. I'd recommend reporting it to Google.

  System expressions don't pick anything, so that's one case where you genuinely need a for-each loop.

  We don't officially support CocoonJS any more. I would recommend raising the issue with Ludei, or (preferably) porting the game to use PhoneGap instead.

  Either way is probably not a good idea. The engine has built-in for-each loops and using an explicit loop is only necessary in certain circumstances. See common mis-used events and gotchas

  I would strongly advise you not to try to "buy" traffic. Most services out there offering that are simply scams, and will use robots to drive automated and worthless traffic to your site, making it look like you're getting something when you're not, while collecting a nice fee.

  No, Ejecta is not a real browser and does not support most real browser APIs like Web Audio, WebRTC etc.

  Were there any error messages in the browser console?

  I think they are identical. When you give a layer name to Mouse.X/Y, it does the same math as canvastolayer.

  It's really weird that browsers would show lots of timing happening at 16.0 or 17.0ms (as in, the integer values). That suggests to me some kind of incorrect integer rounding happening somewhere in the browser's timing code. Only IE11 seems to show a sensible graph of a normal-distribution curve centered on 16.7ms. This is an interesting test to report to Chrome and Firefox.
