// Instantiated per RenderProcessHost to provide various optimizations on
// behalf of a RenderWidgetHost.  This class bridges between the IO thread
// where the RenderProcessHost's MessageFilter lives and the UI thread where
// the RenderWidgetHost lives.
//
//
// OPTIMIZED TAB SWITCHING
//
//   When a RenderWidgetHost is in a background tab, it is flagged as hidden.
//   This causes the corresponding RenderWidget to stop sending BackingStore
//   messages. The RenderWidgetHost also discards its backingstore when it is
//   hidden, which helps free up memory.  As a result, when a RenderWidgetHost
//   is restored, it can be momentarily be without a backingstore.  (Restoring
//   a RenderWidgetHost results in a WasShown message being sent to the
//   RenderWidget, which triggers a full BackingStore message.)  This can lead
//   to an observed rendering glitch as the WebContentsImpl will just have to
//   fill white overtop the RenderWidgetHost until the RenderWidgetHost
//   receives a BackingStore message to refresh its backingstore.
//
//   To avoid this 'white flash', the RenderWidgetHost again makes use of the
//   RenderWidgetHelper's WaitForBackingStoreMsg method.  When the
//   RenderWidgetHost's GetBackingStore method is called, it will call
//   WaitForBackingStoreMsg if it has no backingstore.
//
// TRANSPORT DIB CREATION
//
//   On some platforms (currently the Mac) the renderer cannot create transport
//   DIBs because of sandbox limitations. Thus, it has to make synchronous IPCs
//   to the browser for them. Since these requests are synchronous, they cannot
//   terminate on the UI thread. Thus, in this case, this object performs the
//   allocation and maintains the set of allocated transport DIBs which the
//   renderers can refer to.
