[text blink period] Cache blink period instead of fetching from defaults

When switching tabs the Views UI makes several calls to retrieve the
insertion point blink period, and each of these calls generates three
NSUserDefaults calls. In the old days NSUserDefaults simply manipulated
files on disk but now there's an XPC service that manages everything.
As a result, when switching tabs the browser spends 7% of its time
retrieving the blink period. This cl caches the blink period, forcing
updates when the user switches away and back to Chrome.

Logo Chromium

Chromium is an open-source browser project that aims to build a safer, faster, and more stable way for all users to experience the web.

The project's web site is https://www.chromium.org.

To check out the source code locally, don't use git clone! Instead, follow the instructions on how to get the code.

Documentation in the source is rooted in docs/README.md.

Learn how to Get Around the Chromium Source Code Directory Structure .

For historical reasons, there are some small top level directories. Now the guidance is that new top level directories are for product (e.g. Chrome, Android WebView, Ash). Even if these products have multiple executables, the code should be in subdirectories of the product.
