Debounce rendering footer for Flight case

I noticed that backbone case has debounced rendering the footer (the statistics). That means the footer would not be re-rendered until the todo-list restores stability, which is a reasonable optimization I think. I tried the same debouncing strategy for flight case, it gained 20% performance improvement. Shall we apply the debouncing for flight case too?

No. Please stop making optimizations to the benchmark.

We shouldn't be making the benchmark faster. We should be making the browser engines faster.
