REGRESSION(r162837): 5% regression on html5-full-render and 3% regression in DoYouEvenBench

[Ryosuke Niwa]

See https://perf.webkit.org/#mode=charts&chartList=%5B%5B%22mac-mountainlion%22%2C%22DoYouEvenBench%2FFull%3ATime%3ATotal%22%5D%5D

We have 3% regression there.  The regression range is http://trac.webkit.org/log/?rev=162838&stop_rev=162835&verbose=on
and
r162835 is specific to GTK+
r162836 is TextTrack cleanup but DoYouEvenBench doesn't use media elements as far as I know
r162838 is just a TestExpectations update.

We also seem to have 5-6% regression on html5-full-render as well:

We may need to keep some of the paint throttling logic for WK1.

[Antti Koivisto]

This is likely just WK1. We don't need to keep throttling logic (it was never enabled in Mac anyway), but we may need to do some repaint rect unioning so we don't call to NSView land that much.

How is this change related to the rest of the patch? Does something depend on it?

Looks like this never returns null, so it should be changed to return a reference.

This has no members that are not copyable; we should probably mark it non-copyable explicitly.

Not really except that I call it and noticed it was silly.

Yeah, later.

This change broke multiple repaint tests: <http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/162947>.

For a patch like this, waiting for EWS would have been very useful.

This caused timeouts on two flexbox tests, filed bug 127809.
