Should get rid of TileController's CoverageForSlowScrolling mode

• Component: Layout and Rendering
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Beth Dakin]

We should get rid of TileController's CoverageForSlowScrolling. The mode creates large tiles so that we will paint less for these sites. At one time, that was an important performance improvement because a lot of sites were still in slow scrolling mode. Now that very few sites fall into that mode, we should get rid of it since it just adds complexity.

is there any reason to keep this test around?

Not unless we want a test to document this moment. :-)

This confuses me. Do we ever have !shouldClipToLayer when |this| != view?

Hmm, no I don't think so! I was just being extra careful, but I realize now that is not necessary.
