FWIW, bug 41363 is about making "auto" do the nice-but-slow path on fonts 20px and larger.  Maybe some people CCed here would like to add themselves there or implement that.

Another possibility, from https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=595688 : apparently Firefox 4+ no longer has a "slow path" because it uses Harfbuzz to do shaping on all platforms, and that was fast enough that they could completely switch over without regressing perf.  Perhaps this makes sense for WebKit, or for particular ports of WebKit, as well; I don't know enough to file a bug, though.
