1373095 - nsTableCellFrame::GetRowSpan() is a tad slow

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Tables, enhancement, P3)

Description

It's at ~1.5% on the perf log for the Netflix use case reported in bug 1373058,
which seems a bit too much.

GetRowSpan/GetColSpan are virtual because nsMathMLmtdFrame overrides it.
http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/c49a70b53f67dd5550eec8a08793805f2aca8d42/layout/mathml/nsMathMLmtableFrame.cpp#1170
It seems we could devirtualize these fairly easily, by adding that code
in an else-branch in the base class:
http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/c49a70b53f67dd5550eec8a08793805f2aca8d42/layout/tables/nsTableCellFrame.cpp#712

Or perhaps hookup <mtd> so that it parses the attr like <td>:
http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/c49a70b53f67dd5550eec8a08793805f2aca8d42/dom/html/HTMLTableCellElement.cpp#404
so that the existing code in nsTableCellFrame just works as is.

FYI, I intentionally skipped this HTML quirk:
http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/20d16dadd336e0c6b97e3e19dc4ff907744b5734/dom/html/HTMLTableCellElement.cpp#406-408
since we currently don't do that for MathML <mtd>.
Let me know if you think we should.

No point testing the namespace again, given where we are.  Just use:

  if (mNodeInfo->Equals(nsGkAtoms::mtd_)) {

Ah, good point.  I'll update the other three places likewise then:
