I feel very sorry for repeated problems from this patch.

Currently, this patch causes more memory consumption as well as pausing animated gif images (Bug 94874).

I think we should rollback this patch as others may think so. This patch landed 3 months ago, and we can not rollback using a simple git command.

I'll file another bug and patch the reverted one.

Thanks for reporting.
