Description Carlos Garcia Campos 2018-08-21 05:23:19 PDT
RenderLayerCompositor::updateCompositingPolicy() is called very often (called from RenderLayerCompositor::cacheAcceleratedCompositingFlags()) and it uses WTF::memoryFootprint() to decide the current compositing policy. Getting the memory footprint is an expensive operation in Linux (and I suspect other non-cocoa ports too), causing an excessive CPU usage. This caused the WPE and GTK+ unit test /webkit/WebKitWebContext/uri-scheme to start timing out in the bots, because the test expects things to happen fast and that's no longer the case. We could reduce the CPU usage a lot by not trying to update the policy when not in accelerated compositing mode. We will need a solution for the AC mode, though.
