> If I remember correctly, Firefox solves the perceived performance problem much easier. You could just hide the tab immediately, and re-display it if it shows an alert in onunload (which would be a very rare thing in practice, basically only for debugging).

We considered that approach but it was rejected by the user experience folks as being an unpleasant user experience.
