Avoiding selection altogether when we can detect that it would result in the same computed style as a previous element. 2. Up-front presentational hints. Also, computed styles are now transparently interned and ref counted now, so elements will share the same computed styles whenever possible, reducing memory usage. -- Michael Drake _______________________________________________ netsurf-dev mailing list -- netsurf-dev@netsurf-browser.org To unsubscribe send an email to netsurf-dev-le...@netsurf-browser.org
