Tauri can use a separate browser runtime if required. The use default is a space saving mechanism.

They are working on servo implementation, but it's long time to go.

Tauri has problem on Linux, webkit2gtk has lower performance etc. I know I have problems with three.js, others with svg

Additionaly communication speed between backend and frontend is bottleneck (serialisation to string) and you must use custom protocols to effectively communicate/send large data, zero copy binary protocol isn't possible at the moment

I've been looking into Tauri and I'm curious if you could expand on the known problems with three.js and svg? Thanks.

Is this described somewhere? I couldn't find anything in the configuration (https://tauri.app/v1/api/config & https://beta.tauri.app/references/v2/config/) about it, maybe I scanned through it too quickly?

Unless you're referring to using tao and wry as libraries in your own application, but I guess that would be kind of cheating as it's not really a part of Tauri per-se in that case.
