It depends on the size of pages.  The issue with fast vs complete is 
that instead of doing O(1) work you end up doing O(N) work, so how much 
slower that is depends on your N.

Fwiw, the range of N for web pages I commonly visit is somewhere from 
5e2 (e.g. Google homepage) to 3e5 (e.g. the WHATWG HTML specification).

Well, 10 is clearly too small.  ;)
