I've seen the "flexbox was created because floats were too slow" meme a few times and it seems clearly wrong to me. Where did it come from?
@tabatkins @simonsapin Than floats? I get that it's faster than doing layout in JS, but how is it faster than floats in a non-parallel impl?

@pcwalton@SimonSapin Because it was? At least in our impl, I dunno. I'm not deep into the weeds on our layout engine. -
@tabatkins@simonsapin Seems unlikely to me (at least in Servo); float placement is extremely quick, usually O(1) per float.
