Montreal Pango Summit

Billy Biggs drove over from Ottawa yesterday and we spent about 10 hours straight optimizing Pango even more.

Billy have started looking into computing log_attrs lazily. We didn't know about the open bug though.

I committed my mini-fribidi and opentype patches, then produced a more efficient mirroring table for glib using my tools. Used the tools to make a better gunichar->script table for Pango too.

Last night did some profiling and found that calling pango_fc_font_lock_face() and pango_fc_font_unlock_face() from static functions is causing several redundant PANGO_IS_FC_FONT checks, that show up in the profile (around 1%). So ripped them off.

Today I committed more bits: Federico's quark and John Rice's G_MODULE_BIND_LAZY mini patches.

All in all, very productive so far.

To be continued...

I can't wait to see the results of those optimizations.

Nice work, people. :)
