Mozilla launches Jetpack Gallery, restart-free pseudo add-ons now available
Today, Mozilla announced the launch of the Jetpack Gallery. It is to jetpacks what the Firefox add-ons site is to traditional add-ons. Up until now, Jetpack users had pretty limited options for finding packs - a single page of descriptions and links maintained by Mozilla and a community-powered assortment at Userscripts.org.
At the Jetpack Gallery, you can search for jetpacks and browse by tag. The assortment is still quite limited, though submissions will likely begin flowing in now that the doors have officially opened.

That's no surprise, really, since the Jetpack add-on itself is still considered experimental. Those of you waiting for add-ons without a reboot, Jetpack is as close as you can get right now. Head on over to the Gallery to install the Jetpack add-on and try out some packs like JetWave (a Google Wave notifier) and JetStatus (a Twitter client).

Compared to add-ons, I'd like to know about :
-- memory footprint, allocation and use
-- speed and security of execution
Is this a 'new' 'improved' 'standard', whatever it is, or just another buzz word?
Please, someone enlighten me.
