Comments on building:

For firefox, 78.3 builds a little faster than 78.2, alhough slower than 78.1. I guess that changes in the rust code are responsible for this.

For JS78 (build-tested only), for me with both 78.2 and 78.3 the build times are a lot longer than what is in the book, possibly because I'm on 4-core AMD: 2.5 SBU for 78.2, 2.9 SBU for 78.3 disabling jemalloc, 2.7 SBU using jemalloc - since rust is in use I think this variation between my builds might also be normal rust variation. The size of the static lib is 35MB on all of my builds.
