The code in EditorClientQt that sets the input method hints is inefficient. When setting indiviual input method hints we end up calling QWidget::setInputMethodHints for every individual flag, which by itself results in a call to update() in the input method implementation. A better solution would be to accumulate the input method hints and set them at once. This requires minor changes to the QWebPageClient interface.
