@thebabydino At least on Linux, almost all the time is spent in low-level drawing operations inside CanvasRenderingContext2D.fill().
@jlongster should ask @CodingExon , who implemented flexbox in Gecko

@thierrykoblentz ... although CSS specs don't define the behavior, so not a bug per spec. Seems not ideal, but hard to be sure what is.
@thierrykoblentz Probably buggy, not sure if known, and looks related to the collapsing of beginning-of-line whitespace.
@hsivonen I found many parts either unconvincing, or unclear as to how the hypothetical future solution could be better.

@indygreg Still waiting... or was it something you already posted, which seemed pretty reasonable?

@getify Do they have the same selectors? If so, can you manipulate the declaration instead? If not, we have to do all that work.

@getify In Gecko they'll force us to rerun all cascading + selector matching (slow!), but should coalesce well. (Better if scoped style.)
