+
+// 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 RESIZE
+//
+// RenderWidgetHelper is used to implement optimized resize. When the
+// RenderWidgetHost is resized, it sends a Resize message to its RenderWidget
+// counterpart in the renderer process. The RenderWidget generates a
+// UpdateRect message in response to the Resize message, and it sets the
+// IS_RESIZE_ACK flag in the UpdateRect message to true.
+//
+// Back in the browser process, when the RenderProcessHost's MessageFilter
+// sees a UpdateRect message, it directs it to the RenderWidgetHelper by
+// calling the DidReceiveUpdateMsg method. That method stores the data for
+// the UpdateRect message in a map, where it can be directly accessed by the
+// RenderWidgetHost on the UI thread during a call to RenderWidgetHost's
+// GetBackingStore method.
+//
+// When the RenderWidgetHost's GetBackingStore method is called, it first
+// checks to see if it is waiting for a resize ack. If it is, then it calls
+// the RenderWidgetHelper's WaitForUpdateMsg to check if there is already a
+// resulting UpdateRect message (or to wait a short amount of time for one to
+// arrive). The main goal of this mechanism is to short-cut the usual way in
+// which IPC messages are proxied over to the UI thread via InvokeLater.
+// This approach is necessary since window resize is followed up immediately
+// by a request to repaint the window.
+//
+//
+// OPTIMIZED TAB SWITCHING
+//
+// When a RenderWidgetHost is in a background tab, it is flagged as hidden.
+// This causes the corresponding RenderWidget to stop sending UpdateRect
+// 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 without a backingstore. (Restoring a
+// RenderWidgetHost results in a WasRestored message being sent to the
+// RenderWidget, which triggers a full UpdateRect message.) This can lead to
+// an observed rendering glitch as the TabContents will just have to fill
+// white overtop the RenderWidgetHost until the RenderWidgetHost receives a
+// UpdateRect message to refresh its backingstore.
+//
+// To avoid this 'white flash', the RenderWidgetHost again makes use of the
+// RenderWidgetHelper's WaitForUpdateMsg method. When the RenderWidgetHost's
+// GetBackingStore method is called, it will call WaitForUpdateMsg 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.
