The absolutePosition function in the render tree is extremely
problematic. It also does not work in the presence of transforms or
multi-column layout and is extremely slow (calling it inside other
loops is often the cause of O(n^2) behavior). I would like every
WebKit reviewer to be on the lookout for any patches that attempt to
introduce additional calls to this function. The patch author should
have to justify why the call had to be added and be sure there was no
other way to achieve the same effect.
