Maybe so, although I think you can optimize pretty well for the case where
there no visible scrollbars could be affected.
Maybe the "post-layout" aspect was oversold (by who?), but I do think this
behaviour is best for users and authors. If you want to be able to scroll to
see overflowing content, presumably you want to be able to see transformed
content too.
