Are multiple cores being used to draw a webpage? If so, do typical webpages need this level of performance for a satisfactory user experience?
It's needed because low-end phones have 8 slow cores instead of 2 fast cores.

If layout is going to be so parallelized does that mean we're going to need better asynchronous DOM APIs and possibly better Javascript threading support?

Actually chrome always referred to the non-content parts of the UI. Or at least it already did back in the Mozilla Seamonkey days. Chrome the browser was named as such because it removed a lot of the chrome and focused mostly on the content.

Do you know of any resources that go in depth into how different layouts affect parallelism?
speaking from a similar perspective here, I'm jealous of your long list of contributors
And you don't need to be a Rust expert to contribute (not least because essentially nobody in the world fits that description)! It's totally common for initial commits to be the first serious lines of Rust a contributor has ever written ( https://twitter.com/chimeracoder/status/583755185899626496 ).
