Hi,

As far as I can see everything that goes on in the layout process happens in
a single thread - am I right?
This seems to include loading resources like stylesheets.

Thanks ,
Tali

Define "loading"? The actual socket access doesn't happen on the main

Thanks!

I now see that the actual trasport (like nsSocketTransport) is in another
thread.
