1162824 - Change box shadow cache to cache the colored blurred box shadow

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Graphics, defect)

Description

[Mason Chang [Inactive] [:mchang]]

Right now, the box shadow cache tries to cache a full size rect blurred surface. With bug 1155828, we use a small minimal blurred surface and stretch it out to fill the target rect. Change the blur cache to cache the small minimal blurred surface.

Attachment: Cache min box shadow

Changes the current caching strategy from aRect, to only caching the minimum colored box shadow. Relies on bug 1155828. If we want to fix [2], we can do that in a follow up bug. 

Initial results look good. Blurring the small min rect for [1] takes ~0.3 - 04 ms. Using the cache takes ~1 us. While scrolling the whole page w/ APZ on a retina mbp + APZ + e10s + 1024x1024 tile sizes, we spend ~12ms blurring with this patch + Bug 1155828. The original implementation of blurring before this work took ~305ms, so ~25x improvement!

I'd just call this mSize.

Can you instead construct mCornerRadii in the initializer list, like this:
, mCornerRadii(aCornerRadii ? *aCornerRadii : RectCornerRadii())

If this doesn't work, can you add a copy constructor to RectCornerRadii so that it does?

and also use that here
