When scripts display an alert, on OS X, the alert modal dialog slides down from the top of the window. This takes unnecessary time, especially for poorly written scripts which keep displaying such dialogs, or during debugging.

Even Apple's Safari 4 itself doesn't do this anymore and displays a (quickly showing) regular modal dialog.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run script using JavaScript alert()
2. Notice the slow coming of the alert modal dialog
