           Summary: Partial accelerated drawing using display lists
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Layout and Rendering
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: noam at webkit.org


When using accelerated compositing, many times a layer saves a large backing even though its contents can be represented in more efficient means, e.g. solid color, a tiled background image etc.
This is less than optimal both from a memory and from a CPU perspective. An exception to this rule is directly composited images, but those are very limited.
This exploration/bug tries to track a way to extend the directly composited image mechanism to content that may be a bit less straightforward, but simple enough to take advantage from GPU rendering.
