The script in question is already as bad as it can be: it needs time 10 * (5?+ content length) and 20 context switches to run. I would not mind making it even worse by reexecuting the script each time. There is a chance the script developer would learn how to write better code (that is, a DOM property value should be built incrementally, if so desired, on the script side) if he noticed that effect.

How would the following behave: s = document.createElement('script'); document.head.appendChild(s); for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) { s.textContent += "a" + i + " += 5;"; } Would you reexecute the entire script every time data was appended to the script? Would you try to just execute the new parts? Would you do nothing? IE gets around this problem by not supporting dynamically created inline scripts at all, which I think is a really bad solution.
