Description Tim Horton 2012-09-20 20:47:26 PDT 
It'd be nice if we could run the tests with a TiledCoreAnimationDrawingArea and scrolling thread, etc.

It'd be really nice if we could swap into and out of tiled drawing via internals, but running all the tests that way would be a start.

This patch will just add support to WKTR, but no way to use it yet.

On second thought, there are no other features enabled by WKTR command line flags, so maybe we should just do the right thing and support it via internals? I don't know how much work it is to get swapping-out-the-drawing-area working again. Anders?

wktr switch

Attaching a patch to add a --use-tiled-drawing switch to WKTR. I don't think this is the approach we want to take, but it's probably easier than the alternative.

patch to enable tiled drawing on ML

Attaching a patch to turn on tiled drawing in WKTR on ML.
Will wait to land until I see what effect it has on layout test results.
