The previous implementation visited each node in the tree multiple times because it used each symbol's encoding to revisit the branches taken and increment its count. Instead, we can traverse the tree depth first and calculate the probabilities and branch counts as we walk back up. The complexity goes from somewhere between O(nlogn) and O(n^2) (depending on how balanced the tree is) to O(n). Only tested one clip (256kbps, CIF), saw 13% decoding perf improvement. Note that this optimization should port trivially to VP8 as well. In VP8, the decoder doesn't use this function, but it does routinely show up on the profile for realtime encoding.
