Another shot at an improved DOMString representation. This one uses one of 3 representations: either a String, an inlined string (for < 16 bytes) or an interned string:
https://github.com/asajeffrey/servo/tree/domstring-use-atom-or-inlined-string I did lots of hoop-jumping to get it to fit in the same 3 words as a String. The performance is still worse than just using a String. Even more baffling, it uses more memory if you point it at en.wikipedia.org. I can understand a time penalty caused by straight-line code becoming branching, but I don't understand a memory penalty.
