Er, that had a typo.  The correct script is:

javascript:var start = new Date(); function f(n) { for (var k = 
n.firstChild; k; k = k.nextSibling) f(k); } f(document); alert(new 
Date() - start);

Now the numbers are slightly larger; on the order of 230ms to 350ms. 
Barely above human lag-perception.  This is on a several-years-old 
laptop as hardware.
