Bug 57276 – Add an optimization to make line height and box placement calculations faster

• Component: Layout and Rendering
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Add an optimization to make line height and box placement calculations faster.  Basically try to avoid spending as much time in computeLogicalBoxHeights and placeBoxesInBlockDirection.

I don’t think the local variable here is helpful.

Seems a shame to always compute these, since they are not always used.

Not sure what “change result” means in this name. Can you come up with a better name.

It’s better to not line up the subsequent lines so you don’t have to move them when making a change like this one. Also, there should be braces in this if statement.
