Description Ryosuke Niwa 2013-07-12 14:49:11 PDT
Consider merging https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/blink/+/5117d5329f6cdf071dfec25d9026a105070142b6

This improves page load time of The Economist by 41% (3.4s -> 2.0s) on
my z620 workstation.

I believe the change in the inspector/styles/device-metrics-fit-window.html expectations is a progression.
The div being measured has a fixed width of 1024 and there is a zoom on the page.
It looks to me like there was a rounding error previously.

Nice. I don't like the "fixed" terminology though; too easily confused with fixed position.
