Often the largest chunk of the time building the webrender display list is spent drawing text. Here's an example profile: https://perfht.ml/2xFs05O Unfortunately, the profile is quite flat. With the most expensive function being gfxFont::DrawGlyphs. Still it would be good if we could put a dent in this time.

One thing we can consider doing is folding the glyph transformation all the way into serialization. Here's what we do today: - DrawOneGlyph() - read glyph, transform, store glyph in GlyphBufferAzure - TextDrawTarget::FillGlyphs() - read glyph, transform, store glyph in TextDrawTarget's 'AutoTArray<GlyphInstance, 170> glyphs;' - PushGlyphs() - read glyph and store in serialization buffer Instead what we could potentially do is just: - read glyph, transform, store glyph in serialization buffer

We do ok at this for now. If there are specific issues that we need to ship we can block on those individually.
