I profiles the display of a large conversation log, and updateLastInsertTime appeared at 1.5-2.5% in the profiles, which surprised me (this is about the same amount of time as what we do in setColors, which does plenty of dom manipulations).

After looking into how the time was spent by this function, it turns out it pointlessly cancels and creates plenty of 0ms timers.

After applying the attached patch, the function still shows up in profiles, but it was at 0.2%, and the time spent in it was mostly in DOM manipulations (getting the insert element and the time attribute) and setting JS variables.
