+* Gecko profiler / perf-html are being split out
+* easy to use profiler with web UI
+* [example](https://perf-html.io/public/620c5b2a40ad54ee5556e71549d869b0202f215c/calltree/?range=0.0000_1.5785~0.7398_1.5785~0.7919_1.5785&thread=6&threadOrder=0-2-3-4-5-6-1&v=3)
+* currently Gecko specifc, but plan to make generic - Rust or C++
