           Summary: Resolve regular and visited link style in a single
                    pass
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: CSS
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: koivisto at iki.fi


We can simplify and speed up selector matching by removing the recursive matching done to generate the style for :visited pseudo selector. Both regular and visited link style can be generated in a single pass though the style selector.

Recursive visited style mathing is ~20% of the total time spent under styleForElement.
