 Servo’s typical **memory usage has been reduced by over 1%** thanks to Node object optimisations (@webbeef, #35592, #35554), and we’ve also improved our [memory profiler](https://book.servo.org/hacking/profiling.html#memory-profiling) (@webbeef, #35618, #35607).

+We’ve fixed a bug causing very high CPU usage on sites like wikipedia.org (@webbeef, #35245), as well as bugs affecting requestAnimationFrame (@mukilan, #35387, #35435).
 
 You can now configure our tracing-based profiler (`--features tracing`) with `servo --tracing-filter` instead of `SERVO_TRACING` (@jschwe, #35370).
 
+We’ve continued **reducing our use of `unsafe` in script** (@nscaife, @stephenmuss, #35351, #35360, #35367, #35411), and **moving parts of `script` to `script_bindings`** (@jdm, #35279, #35280, #35292, #35457, #35459, #35578, #35620).
+Breaking up our massive `script` crate is absolutely critical for reducing Servo’s build times.
