Summary
Safari sluggish while loading large pages

Safari is extremely sluggish while large pages load incrementally. I believe the #1 reason it is so slow is that Safari does a full repaint of the visible area as the page loads. It doesn't handle the case where content is being appended offscreen (without affecting the visible content) well. Turn on Quartz debug and watch Safari paint the entire visible view over and over and over. Watch Firefox repaint only the scrollbar and its throbber. I have observed this effect on many pages. The problem is that we need to optimize for blocks (like the body and html elements) that grow when they have only a solid background color or a background image whose tiling/positioning is not affected by the increase in height. Right now we just naively repaint a whole block if its size changes after layout.
