Description Simon Fraser (smfr) 2011-05-02 15:24:13 PDT
CanvasRenderingContext2D::restore() does m_path.transform(state().m_transform); which is a waste of cycles if the path is empty, or the transform is identity.

I wonder if putting isEmpty first in the check might make these paths even a little faster. isIdentity() looks at a handful of values on the matrix whereas isEmpty should be checking just a single count variable (platform dependent of course though).
