Bug 192772 – Regression(r239182) SuspendedPage's process reuse for link navigation optimization sometimes broken

• Component: WebKit2
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Chris Dumez]

SuspendedPage's process reuse for link navigation optimization sometimes broken after r239182. In particular, if the page fails to enter page cache, we now throw away the entire process, which can slow down 'back' navigation to this HistoryItem or link navigations to the same domain.

As you mentioned in the original bug, a separate process cache for domains might be a nicer design. This will do though.
