    Fix page_description helper performance · f9f91472
    Sean McGivern authored
    This helper is used for extracting part of the issue / MR / whatever
    description for use in the description meta tag:
    
    1. To do that, we look at the source of the Markdown description.
    2. We then strip out all HTML tags.
    3. And then take the first 30 words.
    
    Doing that can be really slow - especially as Markdown is supposed to be
    treated as plain text. There are many better ways to do this, but the
    immediate performance fix is to swap steps 2 and 3. This does mean that
    the description may be less than 30 words (or even empty), but it is
    much faster when the description is very long.
