If the whole page is loaded in two seconds I would agree with you. But then 
the page is not loading anymore and this whole piece of code is bypassed 
anyway.

Reason I wrote this patch btw is exactly for pages that are local, on an 
intranet or in the browser cache: the first relayout relatively eats more 
time for doing this relayout than giving the impression of being 'fast' by 
being progressive, at least on slower CPUs. So essentially the effect of the 
early relayout is the opposite of being fast.

Question still is whether my patch solves this problem, since I haven't been 
able to test the patch...
