The main point of this pull request is to make StyleDict inherit from dict instead of the copy-on-write-like strategy used before.

This change really improves the speed (yeah, profiling helps), but unfortunately has a high memory footprint. That's why memory usage has been also improved, including an impressive don't-store-the-dummy-cairo-context-in-the-layout-forever in 152193c (already incluled in the font-face branch).

The commits are small and hopefully easy to understand and to revert if needed. I've got exactly the same PDFs before and after these commits with many examples, but I'm sure that bugs have been introduced.

Here are the results (with reliable science inside):

Offline HTML5 Specification

https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/

Simple website, uses online fonts (that's why it's slower now).

Online Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=HTML5&printable=yes

Printable version of a Wikipedia page, long left-aligned paragraphs with floats.

0.31:

  • 7.9s
  • 134MB memory peak

font-face:

font-face + perf:

  • 141MB memory peak (+5%)

This commit has a really good impact on speed (+15~30%) but a really bad
impact on memory usage (+30~40%).
This has an amazing results on memory: -15% when rendering the first page
of the HTML5 spec.
Instead of using split_text_box, we can only call the faster
split_first_line instead.

This commit also copies the style before updating the word spacing,
avoiding a bug introduced in this branch now that the style is shared
across the lines.
