I'm not sure this is fair. Nobody will press a few 1000 times per second on a 
button. Better take an application with a "huge" configure dialog like KMail
and take times for different styles to the first appearance of this dialog. 
I'm not sure if this (with most widgets hidden) will trigger any hot path in 
the rendering, but I can't image many other szenarios where the performance 
of the style engine may lead to sluggish interfaces. Perhaps switching among 
complex profiles in Konqueror? Or
