This is an easy benchmark for rejecting a lot of selectors:

Firefox with STYLO_THREADS=1 gets about 160ms on my machine, which is basically parity with safari and chrome. With the parallelism, Firefox gets 40ms. :-)

You can also simulate sequential mode in recent nightlies by ctrl-clicking and loading the tab in the background (we disable parallelism for background loads).

Thanks, that is the kind of thing I was looking for (though a bit of a narrow test). Cool to hear that this gets a solid speedup from parallelism.
