I think he meant hackability of the DOM code, to which I totally agree.  A
lot of invasive changes to the core DOM code has added new layers of
abstractions and has been preventing us from implementing more aggressive
performance optimizations.

Every problem in computer science can be solved by introducing yet another
layer of abstraction until the number of abstractions itself becomes a
problem.
