To give context:  Currently in WebKit, plugins are handled largely by the webkit layer.  Because we don't know if something is going to be a plugin when we do the network request, we have to assume it will be, and we work hard to provide that plugin its final rendered size before making that request.  Depending on that final rendered size is what makes us need to do the load from the render object, and is what causes some of the slowdown in loading/parsing any page with plugins (extra style resolves, see bug 70009), as well as some of the complexity in the code.
