[thelist] Performance of the DOM in Opera 7b1 (and others)

[Liorean]

Greetings!

After seeing that op7b1 performance (when it comes to the DOM) seemingly
lessens considerably the larger the document gets, I've put together a test
document for just this thing. The results can be summed up by this: Opera
takes longer time to execute DOM actions the greater the number of nodes
gets (not the size of the document as I initially thought).

I've written a testcase displaying just this phenomenon at
<http://members.evolt.org/liorean/testsuite/0.html>.

A moderate time increase can also be observed in moz at larger values (10k
or so).
