The latest Google Chromium Git code has enabled its GPU scheduler by default.

Back in May is when Chrome/Chromium received a GPU scheduler for slotting command buffer work according to priority level.

Now that scheduler is being flipped on by default as of today in Git.

More technical information on the Chrome GPU scheduler can be found via this Google Doc.
