Summary

Ref T13513. See PHI1734, which raises a concern about the performance of large revisions near the 100-change threshold.

Currently, getInlines() is called whenever the scroll position transitions between two changesets, and it performs a relatively complicated DOM scan to lift inlines out of the document.

This shows up as taking a small but nontrivial amount of time in Firefox profiles and should be safely memoizable.

Test Plan
  • Under Firefox profiling, scrolled through a large revision.
  • Before change: getInlines() appeared as the highest-cost thing we're explicitly doing on profiles.
  • After change: getInlines() was no longer meaningfully represented on profiles.
  • Created inlines, edited inlines, etc. Didn't identify any broken behavior.
