Loading this page hangs the current build.

Note that on 4.X with image loading turned off this page makes major memory
allocations. Not sure if they are related.
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
Depends on: 11702
The page isn't hanging. It's just taking an enormously large amount of time,
best measured in lifetimes and not seconds.

The page has 40 images without width/height tags. That means we end up
generating 40 incremental reflow commands. That might not be so bad except that
they're all inside of a table and that means lots of reflow.

Marking as a PERF bug.

Note that the general table incremental reflow performance issue is covered by
bug #11702. This bug demonstrates the need for coalescing of reflow commands. If
we did that we would cut way down on the number of incremental reflows we
perform, because many of the images are the same

Seems to load better with the latest build, but this shows the need for reflow
command coalescing.

Changing url because the earlier one's content got archived.  This new url

Page loading on these pages is more bearable now.  Marking this bug WORKSFORME.

Note that we only do reflow command coalescing within block and inlines at this 
time so this bug is not helped by that work.  When we start coalescing within 
tables also, pages like these should load even faster.
