This layout manager is used quite often and the time we spend calling it's allocate and get_preferred_width/heigth functions increases with every open window. We can save a lot of precious time during the layout cycle by moving this layout manager from JS to C, thus avoiding the overhead of trampolining between C and JS land. In a measurement where the average time spent in vfunc_allocate() of the Workspace actor was measured while opening an overview with 20 windows, the average time spent went down from 3.1 ms to 2.3 ms.
