Wt

I used the build in profiler and noticed that most of the time when recreating a dialog (composed of WStackedWidgets some WTableView, WTreeViews and Forms) is spent in a function called Wt.js/getCssRule. I placed traces inside this function and found out that half the time it does not find the element its looking for (while recreating the dialog it runs ~120 times with ~900 elements to check against).

Is it possible to reduce the amount that function gets called?

Answer from koen via list:

It seems that indeed we have full knowledge of what is already defined and thus we should not be calling getCssRule() if it the rule does not yet exist.

The function void WCssStyleSheet::ruleModified(WCssRule *rule) is probably not taking into account that a rule is added instead of being modified.
