I was just working w/ a gamedev who couldn't use FF to debug their problem because it was hanging.  It turns out that they were spewing a lot with console.log and this was spending a lot of time in layout.  The first interesting thing is that it doesn't take a whole bunch to lock up the console: ~1000 messages all with length < 1000 chars.  Chrome deals with this a lot better than FF in this regard.

Now, I believe doing layout requires the main thread so it is hard to simply offload all this work to a worker.  Instead, could we perhaps do some sort of lazy/incremental creation of the DOM nodes?  That way, we'd never be doing more than a fixed amount of layout at a time.  Things like "Filter" could still work and help the dev jump to just the part they want.
