Summary Optimize procedure to find first/last logical box of text

Reported 2011-08-02 14:19:32 PDT
Using the END key (Windows, Linux) or CMD + right arrow (Mac) in an editable region of bidirectional text results in the call tree: logicalEndOfLine (in visible_units.cpp) -> logicalEndPositionForLine -> RootInlineBox::getLogicalEndBoxWithNode -> InlineFlowBox::collectLeafBoxesInLogicalOrder collectLeafBoxesInLogicalOrder explicitly inverts the visually ordered sequence of boxes into logical order using the bidi algorithm. This can be optimized for time and space as we are only interested in finding the logically last box, not the logical order of the boxes.

I'm very skeptical of 15-20% increase in the performance. If we can really see that much improvement, I'd like to know which tests run that much faster. Also, I'm worried about the fact this code more or less duplicates the existing logic.
