[webkit-help] Preload Scanner in WebKit

[tomorrow chen]

Yes.Your conclusion is right.
Because Javascript will modify the html structure,i.e,with document.write
method.So the html parser need to block when encounter external
javascript.But this block would reduce performance. So there's preload
scanner.
For CSS or other external resources,they have no impact on html document.So
they will not influence the parser process.Thus no need for preload scanner.
