What about the other check-ins in that timeframe? I'm looking for 
example at WINNT 6.0 talos mozilla-central nochrome qm-pvista-trunk04 
now. The build with the lower (tp: 395.55) tp was id:20080925110153 
rev:7b75a1f34434, the build following this id:20080925124346
rev:92cc665e9b84 had a higher tp (tp: 480.02). There was a security bug 
check-in, Bug 456896, how much impact could this bug have on Tp (I do 
not know that much about layout perf...)?

Actually looks like this only has an effect when an element gets 
focused, so not really something that would affect Tp.
