The containment specification [1] says:

When an element skips its contents, the user agent must change the used value of the contain property so as to turn on layout containment, style containment, paint containment, and size containment. Further, its contents (the flat tree descendants of the element, including both text and elements, or the replaced content of a replaced element) are not painted (as if they had visibility: hidden) and do not respond to hit-testing (as if they had pointer-events: none), and to a large extent do not update their styles at all unless explicitly requested by script (see § 4.3 Restrictions and Clarifications for details).

The user agent should additionally avoid as much layout/rendering work as possible for skipped contents; the combination of heavy containment and making the contents invisible and untouchable enables heavy optimizations. If rendering work is done at some point, the user-agent should retain the previously computed layout state if possible, to allow the skipped contents to be displayed quickly at a later moment.

The idea of this bug is that unless script specifically asks for the size of content that is hidden, we can avoid laying out that content.

Sorry, there was a problem with the detection of inactive users. I'm reverting the change.

Failure log

It seems that the problem here is an assertion failure. When forcing the layout of hidden content, layout requests are flushed. These layout requests can, in turn, trigger queries which force the layout of hidden content. We need to take this into account in the code. I've uploaded a new version of the change which does this.
