You know what would be fast for display updating, ncurses. I wonder why they didn't use that? If only we had an ncurses based text editor.

Someone should write a webkit based ncurses! Why haven't we seen the light before !? ;)

There is already an ncurses library for JavaScript [1] so one for WebKit shouldn't be far off ;)

Ncurses is the worst gui toolkit there is (from a developer point of view), although it indeed is lighter on resource usage than most of the others if you do it right.
