When I read the article I understood it to be that individual actual DOM operations are expensive compared to the virtual DOM. So, if you have N operations, if you apply them to the virtual DOM, and then do a diff, you may end up with M <= N operations one must apply to the actual DOM to do to get it to an equivalent state.
