When I profiled the release build of DumpRenderTree with --repeat-each 5 on LayoutTests/editing/selection/move-by-word-visually*, I got the results (only showing relevant part):

Before change:
3.8% rightWordPosition
   1.9% collectWordBreaksInBox
   1.7% rightWordBoundary
   0.1% nextBoundary
   ...

After change:
3.4% rightWordPosition
   1.7% rightWordBoundary
   1.2% collectWordBreaksInBox
   0.3% nextBoundary
   ...

Results for leftWordPosition are similar. This makes sense as, before the change, calls to collectWordBreaksInBox occurred when going right in LTR blocks and left in RTL blocks (roughly accounts for half of test cases). Now word breaks don't need to be collected for those cases; but they still need to be collected when the correct word break is at the logical end of line or when moving from one box to another.
