           Summary: [BlackBerry] Don't set active or hover styles on touch
                    start
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Event Handling

Setting active or hover styles on links and other parts of the tree can require a relayout and a style recalc which on some pages such as links on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic_Games (desktop version) can take over 300 ms. 
We would like to be able to set elements active if they have a touch listener or are form controls.

Anecdotally, those doing a mouseover on those links on safari desktop results in approx 20ms of style recalc and 20ms of layout which seems high compared to other sites, but not being familiar with its stats I can't tell if its reasonable.
