Set your mousewheel with CTRL as a scale up/down page. Then scale a page up by
10-20% that's very complex (like a kuro5hin story). The entire browser is then
blocking on this one scale request, and there's no indication it's at work at
all (unless you look at top).
If we can have different tabs loading pages concurrently, why not scaling too?

What does `scaling' mean? Scrolling?

Because layout is single-threaded (and it's easy to make one tab lock up others
if it goes into a complicated layout task...)
What we should do is make scaling incremental, somehow.
Oh, 'scaling' here is text zoom, I assume....

That would entail making the global style-changed reflow be interruptible. We
could make this depend on the `implement interruptible reflow' bug.
Scaling aka text zoom where the layout engine makes everything larger font wise
(but doesn't also scale images, ala Opera's zoom).

This is suboptimal, since it does not set all windows' cursors to "wait"... I
tried doing that but crashes ensued....
