Details

M11 layout is MUCH slower than M10. This is particularly noticable on OpenVMS,
which is not the fastest platform for Mozilla in the first place, but its also
very noticable on Linux.

My OpenVMS build contains every M11 checkin to date (including today's). My
Linux build id is 1999111108. Here's some samples times to load the M11 release
notes page www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/release-notes/m11.html

       OpenVMS      Linux
M10     4.5 sec    2.5 sec
M11   127.0 sec   18.5 sec

What's going on here? If I stop in the debugger, I see LOTS of reflow routines
getting called. To my untrained eye it looks like they are being called
recursively.

Why is M11 so much worse than M10???? My Linux system is a 500MHz box. It should
scream!!! With M11, the only thing screaming is me!!!!!

M12 is SIGNIFICANTLY better. As far as I'm concerned, you can close out this bug
