Setting the style to same as before through DOM causes a reflow. The only time
there is a reason to reflow the rest of the document is when the size of the
frame has changed.

In the sample, provided by the URI, there it takes equally long time the scond
time the button is pressed (about half a minute) although nothing is changed.

(There are some serious performance bugs when it comes to reflows and js but I
think these are covered by other bug reports. See th following news post
